    "content": "Diversity in opinions should be seen as a mark of strength rather than a weakness. With all those divergent opinions, we should be able to sit down, pull together, agree, chart the way forward and appreciate the power of persuasion to ensure that you are able to drive the county in the right direction. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to encourage most of the aspirants who are running for the governor’s position, that since we have experienced the challenges with the current team of governors, they must take keen interest and time to identify a deputy governor that they will not regret. They should choose a deputy governor who we will work with them from day one to the end of the term. This way, we will avoid the current situation where some deputy governors are not in good terms with their governors. The Council of Governors should be opened up to the deputy governors. If the deputy governors are to represent the governor in the Council, they should be allowed to be part of the forum. If they appear on only one day, they will not be aware of what has been going on. Therefore, it is important that the governors appreciate that their deputies are part and parcel of them. The governor and the deputy governor is one institution and are the apex of the county executive. It is important that they work together until the end of their term for the effective implementation and running of the county executive. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate the mover of this Bill, Sen. Murkomen, the Deputy Governors Forum and the County Assemblies Forum (CAF) for realising that this is the House and institution where they can refer their issues and they will be taken up. I also thank Members of this House for supporting this Bill to ensure that wheels of devolution run smoothly within our counties. With those remarks, I beg to support."
