    "content": "I agree with the speakers who have spoken before me that we do not want to create two centres of power in the country. It is important that we enable the office of the deputy governor to work together with that of the governor. We can do so by making the perks and the remuneration of the deputy governors to be as comfortable and close to those of the governors. One of the deputy governors who has suffered most in this country and never operated from his office is the Deputy Governor of Bomet. Unfortunately, the Deputy Governor has not had the opportunity to contribute to the provision of leadership and service to the County of Bomet for lack of facilitation. This has become a costly affair for the county in that the Governor has had to traverse the county and do functions that could be done by the Deputy Governor. The Governor uses a helicopter as a mode of transport to traverse the county, which is costly. It is very costly for the Governor to move around the county doing functions which could have, otherwise, been done by the Deputy Governor, if there was facilitation to run the office. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the two amendments which have been made for the deputy speakers and the deputy governors of the counties so that those two can be useful, operate and assist the counties that they represent. The kinds of squabbles which are brought about by lack of understanding are very costly and interfere significantly in the delivery of services to the counties. I beg to support the amendments to this Bill. I am sure that the amendments will also be supported by the rest of the Senators, particularly Senators like me who would like to continue being Senators in this country and in Parliament."
