    "content": "Thank you Madam Chairperson. The thinking of the committee at the time was not to make the County Attorney subservient to the persons who are serving as executive members. The intention of the committee at the time was to ensure, just like the Attorney-General in Kenya, that the county attorney can sit in the county executive committee. Therefore, it is what we call numero uno. He is able to sit in the county executive committee, his appointment is the same as the county executive committee. In terms of approval and removal, his is the same as that of the county executive committee, so that he is able to advise and liaise. Madam Chairperson, any other way would mean that he will not be able to give advice to the County Executive Member being subservient to them. That is the purpose so that he can issue a direction to a County Executive Member in the way the Attorney- General is the legal adviser and, therefore, the Ministers are not under obligation to follow that advice."
