Mwaura","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13129,"legal_name":"Isaac Maigua Mwaura","slug":"isaac-mwaura"},"content":"Madam Temporary Chairperson, when an amendment has been introduced, Members are given a chance to contribute because it is like Second Reading. While I agree with the proposal by Sen. (Eng.) Maina, I find it a bit interesting that the nominee to be approved through public participation by the county assembly is supposed to be proposed by the Senator. How can a Senator who is supposed to oversight a governor participates in nominating a candidate? It should be governor to nominate his or her running mate. That is totally out of order because it goes against the spirit of separation of powers. It is like a Senator having his own person to deputise somebody who he is supposed to oversight. The other provisions are okay but I have a problem with that particular amendment."}
