    "content": "nominations. At the county assemblies, not many parties realised that these seats were very powerful and would help the party. Some no longer support their parties yet it is important to support your party so that it progresses. We should put in place a clear framework so that everyone who is nominated is responsible. This will ensure that their party thrives; party agenda is well articulated, nationally and at the county level. In addition, some nominations do not benefit residents of a county. This is worrying. For instance, in Mombasa, two MCAs are from Nyanza yet they were nominated to Mombasa County Assembly. In Kisii County Assembly, there is a Borana lady who was nominated yet the Kisiis are there. This is wrong. This is where the electoral commissioners erred. They mismanaged the process in that regard. We must close up that gap where people take advantage of such situations just because it was very open. I hope legal minds will help political parties to ensure that in 2017 this does not recur. Every community should benefit from their county assembly. Those are their slots. Let them feel they are part and parcel of the elections. Mr. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
