    "content": "on the basis of delegations and not the membership of the House. A precedent has been set and the Constitution is clear that no Member other than the head of the delegation has an original vote on matters affecting counties. This was a terrible lacuna in the law from the beginning. In the case of Kyalo, it was a well choreographed and designed conspiracy, starting with the mischievous Governor Mutua who sponsored an impeachment against his deputy. He brought the matter to this House. At one point he followed us to Mombasa in a retreat pretending to be better than other governors because he was the only one there. What he wanted was how to get rid of his deputy. When the matter came before the House - if I were ever challenged - I will name and shame the Senators who were hawking money on behalf of Governor Mutua to influence the House to impeach his deputy governor. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if we do not hold the position of the heads of delegation sacrosanct, we could easily have Members of delegations who do not agree with their head of delegations. They would go wayward and do harm and injustice to a matter where an innocent man or woman has been put on the ropes. I do not want us to get to the level like the days of Jesus where the Jewish congregation was eager to save the robber but hang the innocent man. They were ready to suffer with their robbers. We do not want to go that way. I urge Sen. Murkomen to rethink the issue on the deputy governors. Several delegations are not comfortable with defining what a deputy governor must do by insulating him with unnecessary consultations. The Senator was not here when I said the word “consult” is not clear. Does it mean concurrence or agreement?"
