    "content": "said in the same meeting, that this Bill, for avoidance of doubt, is to clear any doubt that might be collecting in the minds of some people who may not care about representation of gender and marginalized groups in the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, through this Bill, it will be clear that county assemblies cannot purport to run in the absence of those who are expected to represent the marginalized groups. This is a serious situation because as we speak there are more than 600 nominated women in the county assemblies. Very few county assemblies were able to elect women to represent the various wards. It was necessary that we take nomination as a process of ensuring that there is equity. Nomination is also dealing with marginalized groups. There are other two nominations namely; two youth, a man and a woman; two persons with disabilities, a man and a woman and two persons, a man and a woman representing marginalized communities in their county. Can you imagine that when the county assemblies were constituted, they elected chairpersons and vice chairpersons of committees, majority and minority leaders and deputy speakers. Of all those people,"
