    "content": "What I am saying, therefore, is that the Constitution under Article 96 gives the Senate the mandate to protect the interests of the counties and the county governments. The Constitution does not give National Assembly any mandate whatsoever over the county governments; therefore, this Bill, as currently formulated, is against the Constitution and runs the risk of putting this House at logger heads with the county governments and the people. Therefore, I would urge that you make a ruling as to whether it is in order that we continue to prosecute this Bill in its current form. This is because, in my view, it would be in vain to purport that this House can be involved in the removal of county governors; this is really to stretch our imagination too far. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
