    "content": "point a finger at the county attorney and say: “Where were you when such poor piece of legislation was being drafted?” In his mandate, he must be an audacious human begin. He or she must be able to summon legislation which he or she thinks goes against the grain of the Constitution and public interest. In fact, he needs to have some right to be heard. We should have allowed him to have some space to commentate, in fact, at some point, to publish the advice that is ignored in the event where county governments err. When we ask him, we call him to account and he can publish to us the kind of advice that he gave that county. Where he thinks there is an oblivious violation of the Constitution like values that we have in Article 10 of the Constitution that; every public servant has an obligation to interpret this Constitution in discharging his or her functions. He or she can say: “I stand against this Bill, law, against this action;” even where his advice is ignored. I remember once when I was in Government and serving in the Office of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, (KNHCR), I was told at that time in the Public Service when we offered an advice that an advice is simply an advice. However, the person who is being advised can decide to ignore it. When an advice is ignored and the error is committed, then we can speak on to that. I beg to support."
