    "content": " Thank you. We have a very progressive Constitution and that is what has informed the further amendment that we are coming up with as regards the vacancies as they will occur within the office of the governor. There was a misconception at the very beginning that senators were going to be more powerful than any person in this country. That is why those who would have otherwise initially gone for the position of governor chose to be senators only to realise that they have no powers and there was a mass exodus when they then chose to go and run to become governors. A 90-day period has been decided by the Committee as the transition period for the office of the governor. But how I wish that we would propose further amendments because the traverse that we have is giving an opportunity during a short period of time to an individual and all eyes are trained towards the resources going to these counties. How I wish that we would draw something like a committee of five drawn from the Executive, and a few from the assembly so that we have a quasi-body that will then take care of the resources of the county during that period."
