    "content": "should have one vote. That will make the county assemblies manageable and that is the way to go. I do not want to dwell on the Bill. Most speakers who have contributed to this Bill have dwelt on most of the issues. I do not want to repeat myself. I want to emphasise and reemphasise that we should not make the issue of removal of a speaker automatic. We should make it difficult because in the first instance, that speaker was elected by the MCAs. What happens is that with time, when most of the governors see that they cannot micromanage the speaker, the next move is to plan how to remove him. Once you touch the seat of the speaker, deputy speaker and other leaders within county assemblies, you are left free to manage the county in the way you want. It is our responsibility, as we look at this Bill, to make sure that it is in line and is for the good of our people in the counties."
