    "content": "There are two levels under the Constitution; there is overseeing the county governments. The County Assembly has a serious mandate under Article 226 to oversee the governor and the county governments. The National Assembly and the Senate also oversee; even the county governments table reports of their operations in their assemblies. So, my worry is this, how do I become a Member of the County Development Board in view of Articles 96, 216, 225,226,228,and 229 of the Constitution that give the Legislature the oversight role of any of the governments? I want my colleagues to go through the functions and the roles of a Member. In my opinion, this is a Bill that was not born in a very good night, in a family. It was born when the mother and father were seriously fighting and the baby that came out of them is seriously deformed and cannot even walk. Even if somebody goes to court--- Let us say if the President was to assent--- I am sure the lawyers who are in this House will agree with me that this law can be challenged. I am sure the courts will be positive and not idiotic this time in their ruling. I want to tell my colleagues that, because my conscience is very clear, they choose to be legislators to oversee---"
