    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution requires that all CECs of Nyeri County cease to hold office following the death of the governor. The Constitution also does not speak about the office of the deputy governor for the remainder of the period which the deputy governor assumes office. So, if a governor is elected today and he loses his life like in the circumstances of Governor Gachagua, the deputy governor will hold office without a deputy governor for a period of five years. In this case, it is four months. In addition, the deputy governor who was sitting with CECs will then be required to start a process of vetting CECs to be approved by the county assembly like it was before the demise of the Governor, which is a contradiction. Therefore, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the fullness of time as Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o says, we will have to check Articles 179(7), 182(3), 182(4) and 182(5) so that it is very clear what the deputy governor can do like in the case of Nyeri. In the case of Nyeri, although he has assumed office, I am curious to know how he will appoint his CECs and how he will continue acting in office without a deputy governor. I thank you.
