    "content": " I rise to support that proposed amendment. When the original law was being passed, many of us did not anticipate that we could have governors whose elections would be nullified. However, the Committee should have gone further because we are seeing cut throat competition even in cases where governors’ slots have not been nullified like in my county which is no longer working because people are trying to ascend to the speakership because of an amendment like this, where people think they will come in and loot. That is the war that is going on in Homa Bay County. Nothing is going on because people want to come in and loot within that period. I wish the Committee would have gone further and stated the role of the acting governor so that it ceases to be a lucrative thing that people want to kill each other over. Otherwise, to that extent I support but I am encouraging the Committee to bring further amendments so that you tie the hands of people who come in. It is not a looting spree so that we can let Homa Bay County work. We are tired of theatrics."
