    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to second this Bill. On the outset, I congratulate Sen. Wamatangi for coming up with this brilliant Bill. It is a Bill that had been missing in the previous ritual of assumption office of the governor during the inaugural ceremonies 2013. As the Mover of this Bill has put it, the principle object of this Bill is to provide for the procedure and ceremony for the assumption of the office of the governor by the governor-elect. This means that somebody else may be elected to take over from the immediate governor or the particular inaugural governor may be elected again. There must be a procedure of getting that person into office. It is essential that a procedure is generated because the law says that apart from having a governor, there should be a legislation that will guide how some of the activities can be run or offices assumed in the county. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, presently, there is no legal framework governing the assumption of the office of the governor. If you remember, a number of governors were inaugurated in stadia. In the case of my county, all elected leaders were not invited except the governor himself. The inauguration of some of the governors was unique because traditionalists did the ritual of inaugurating them. In the process, they ended up making them clan elders. This is an important exercise to provide for who should be there and what should be done. Part One of the Bill essentially talks about the preliminaries. Part Two talks about the establishment of the office of the governor and the committee that will come up The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
