    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will summarize. If I do not want to be discussed, then I have no business being in public office. The moment you step into public office, you allow yourself to be subject to all manner of inquiry and people can say anything else about you, so long as they can prove it. The law of libel and defamation already exists and so, it is not proper to re-legislate. Lastly, the reason I was telling you this is a very interesting Bill is this: Look at the way the person tries to copy all Clause 38 in this legislation. Whereas it is possible and important to make sure that the county assemblies have powers and privileges because they are an important organ in devolution and in terms of exercising sovereignty, I think we can do better. We shall improve this Bill by deleting the clauses that are unconstitutional. We shall also give the MCAs more power so that they can exercise their functions. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the time."
