    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this Bill. First, I want to thank Hon. David Ochieng for coming up with this Bill. I think it is good for the country. The aim of this constitutional amendment is to bring harmonization. On the county assemblies, we are saying that Members of the MCAs should be there for five years. When you count five years since the MCAs were elected, it puts it at March, 2018. When you say that election of Members of Parliament will be held on 2nd August of the fifth year, it means, we will have elections in August for Members of Parliament together with the President, the Governors and the rest, but the MCAs will be elected in March, 2018. This constitutional amendment brings harmonization because it brings back election date of MCAs from 2018 and forwards the date for election of Members of Parliament."
