    "content": "I am talking about Article 6(2) of the Constitution. The question is; can you come and confirm; and give us actual dates of the days when the President, the Deputy President or their agents consulted or sat with either the governors, members of the county assemblies or the Senators to do consultations so as to seek co- operation through mutual consent for us to have this particular body that, to me, is likely to cause confusion or bring in interference? My last point on clarification arises from what you have said. You pointed to the Senate Minority Leader and myself, that we were there when we created the National Government Co-ordination Act. It is true; we did it. But as you know, the law is not a dead entity; it is dynamic, and we were responding to a specific need. The specific need was that other departments of Government--- let me give you the example of the Department of Education, which had already posted heads to the counties. We have a guy there called County Education Director. So, there was need to have somebody who would then co-ordinate issues of security, in view of the fact that some of the assets of the former county councils were now at risk.
