    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to reply. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed, particularly the last contributor, the Member for Bondo, who gave very insightful comments. To allay his fears, the Constitution says that the county executive committee should not exceed a third of the county assembly members. So, if you have a 30-member county assembly, then you should have an executive committee of not more than ten Members. If you have a county assembly of 60 members, then you should have an executive committee of not more than 20 members. The reason why this amendment is coming on the wards is because if the IEBC had set the wards to be about five in a constituency and you have a county with only two constituencies, then they will have ten county assembly members. The current Act provides for a minimum of 15. That is why the anomaly is being corrected to have the minimum as ten.
