    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are all the functions to be performed. So, must the governor consult the deputy governor and all those functions? That is too wide and I submit. The only one that I agree on is in Clause 5 where it says:- “A deputy governor shall be the principal assistant of the governor and he shall deputize for the governor in the execution of the governor’s functions”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with this amendment because it is a refinement of what is already in the County Governments Act. In fact, it repeats word by word what is there under the Constitution, and I believe it is Article 147 of the Constitution which touches on the duties of the Deputy President. All those words are lifted from that section to the extent that the deputy governor is like the vice president in a county. I agree with that uplifting of that to apply to the deputy governor which will be a refinement to what is already there under the County Governments Act. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I now come to the two major ones where I have serious reservations which is Clause 5 (b). There should be an added clause which says:- “THAT the deputy governor shall coordinate the functions of the county executive committee”. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by the use of the word “coordinate”, it is under the Constitution and not a function which can just be assigned to somebody. It is a function of the entire executive committee itself under Article 183 (1) (c) of the Constitution which says:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
