    "content": "As we continue debating these issues, we need to address an issue that we alluded to yesterday. Why do we have nominated members to the county assemblies whom we have provided a way of occupying space in those assemblies in the Constitution? It was not for them to be grouped together by the governor and they become a whip against the people who were voted for. They are supposed to help in actualising those issues that affect people on a regular basis, like water and health. When we were making the Constitution, we thought that if we nominate more women at the county assembly level, they would remember the issues that our ladies go through and are suffering from everyday. What we are now seeing today is that the first point of call is the governor’s office. They form a caucus that is then used by the governor to do things that do not benefit the people who elected those MCAs."
