    "content": "I can see there has been a change of Chair. I acknowledge Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Chair. Going to the provisions of this Bill, which I just want to give clarity and provide for what had been left out, there is merit in clarifying the commencement of a sitting of a county assembly. In the last term, there were questions as to the legality of election of many county speakers, given the fact that many of them were elected before nominated Members of County Assembly (MCAs) had taken oath of office. Many county assemblies already formed committees before the nominated MCAs took office and the question of fairness then arose. Is a county or even the Senate fully constituted if the nominated Members have not yet been sworn in, either because of a court case or a petition against them? Should there be a threshold for that? 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."
