These CASBs have become cash cows for Members of the County Assemblies and in as much as we want to shield the Speakers from arbitrary removal, we must also ensure that we make it possible that a Speaker who is errant can be removed. We should not make it impossible, but make sure that there is fairness and the administrative action is consistent with what the Constitution and the other laws that we have passed say. On the issue of recall of Members of County Assemblies (MCAs), the Bill provides clarity and allows opponents and newly registered voters to initiate the recall of a Member of the County Assembly. The Members of County Assemblies are like Senators. I sympathise with them. The day after your election, you suddenly become unpopular because all the things people expected you to do for them, they suddenly realise that you cannot deliver for a variety of reasons. However, our people are not patient enough to understand what those reasons could be. If you are a Senator, you got one vote just like the governor. Why is the governor promising a road and the Senator is only talking big English? This is where sometimes, I sympathise with Members. The people want education and you cannot build a school for them. Thus, an innovative Senator will arrive in the village and say ‘we shall build a school for you come what may; whether it is a stone walled, mud-walled, iron-roofed or grass-thatched school."
