    "content": "Two, we want to bring to the attention of the House that amending Article 101 of the Constitution and others as proposed in this Bill will also not resolve the uncertainty created by Article 177 (4) of the Constitution, which seems to guarantee Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) a five year term. I want Members to listen to me. Even though the High Court in the above quoted case refers to the next election being on 27th August, the provisions of Article 177(4) were not canvassed before the same court. We are concerned that the matter may be litigated upon too close to the election date. So, this issue and litigation will drag until we reach too close to the election, thus causing unnecessary uncertainty."
