Senators will remain with their legislative mandate but there must be a power structure at the county level. This is either a committee or an office that is able to stand up against oppressive or dictatorial tendencies by governors who hold political power. We should separate the two. I am willing to provide, in another different forum, how this has been done in other countries. If you separate political power from economic power, then, you have a stable institution and a stable country. If you accumulate political and economic power in one person or institution, you will have a recipe for the kind of things we are witnessing in this country from Kilifi to Migori, from Tharaka-Nithi to Kakamega and from Marsabit to Narok. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you and God bless Kenya."}
