    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can shelve that. But I want to conclude by saying that, in as much as we are saying that some of those things are really miscellaneous, like it has been said before, the amendments here will affect largely the county governments. I want to bring out the whole issue of the relationship between the number of wards and the number of county executive members. The Constitution mentions this very clearly that there is a relationship between the number of wards and the number of county executive members. When we reduce the number of wards to a maximum of 15, then that negates the whole thing that we set in the Constitution. The Constitution says that there is a ratio of almost one to three, such that when we talk about one county executive officer, it is almost equated to three wards. So, if we do that, then it means that a portion of this proposed legislation is going to contradict the Constitution in a substantive way."
