"content": "“A county government shall not be suspended under clause (1) unless an independent commission of inquiry has investigated allegations against the county government, the President is satisfied that the allegations are justified and the Senate has authorized the suspension”. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, since we are now in the process of having a review of this Constitution and maybe this particular Article is wrong - I believe it was not fair to ask the President to use public resources, form a very expensive commission, it goes through the due process and then ask the same President who wanted to be helped as an individual to be satisfied with the findings of the commission to suspend the County Government of Makueni. He should have been satisfied in the first place, so that he could form the commission and when they recommend that he suspends, he could have done so, awaiting for this Senate to agree. This is a bad law. The drafters of this Constitution were wrong. They put too much power in the hands of the President and we are not making progress in terms of the imperial presidency that we wanted to kill in this country. I support."
