    "content": "sit at the assembly chambers because that is where they deliberate. Our county assemblies should make it mandatory to have Public Galleries where people come to follow the proceedings. I would also like to talk about prohibited acts by Members. I think this might be misused. If an assembly decides to send me away like it happened to Hon. Wandayi, then it can. That is a shortcoming of our Standing Orders. I totally agree with Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal that we need to expand the provisions of punishment and not only this one that sends one away for the rest of the Session. In my opinion, I think that is a little bit on the higher side because my constituents will suffer from my failure to represent them. We should look for a way to limit those powers under Article 26 of the Bill. If the county assembly decides my fate, then others might misuse that to fight me politically. Regarding the determination of a breach of a privilege, Clause 17(3)(e) of the Bill allows the assembly to remove you from a position given by your party. It states that part of what an assembly can do is the removal or suspension for a specified period of the member from any county assembly position enjoyed by the member."
