    "content": "The independence of this Fund will ensure that there is separation of powers between the executive and the legislature. This is something that will bring light at the end of the tunnel so that MCAs can work well. Hon. Speaker, many times MCAs would sack clerks at their will but right now we have some conditions. There is a clear framework on how clerks can be removed from their offices. It cannot be an issue of witch-hunt the way they have been doing. For you to sack somebody it must be on issues of integrity or under the provisions that are provided here. Sacking of those officers will not be because of nepotism, tribalism or witch-hunt. This is very critical because it will bring sanity in county assemblies in the long run. We know that a county assembly plays the same role as the national Parliament. It exercises the three roles of legislation, oversight and representation. If this Bill passes, county assemblies will operate independently and without fear or favour. I request Hon. Members to support this Bill and pass it quickly so that we can have some sanity on the ground once it is implemented. Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I request Hon. Members to support this Bill."
