    "content": "The few amendments in this Bill remove all the ambiguities. They give a clear timeframe to the authorities concerned in terms of what they are mandated to do. I am talking about the commission of inquiry, the Senate as well as the presidency. When it comes to suspension or termination of a county government, these are the three major organs that have a role to play. In addition to giving clear roles and mandates, it also provides a very clear timeframe for necessary actions to be taken by the three authorities, namely, the Senate, commission of inquiry and the presidency. For instance, the Senate committee responsible for this role is given only three months to do its investigation, make a decision, forward it to the Senate plenary for deliberations and a decision to be made. As some of my colleagues have said, this shows that if our Senators are committed to the constitutional mandate that they have, they can do a lot of good in strengthening devolution and county governments. Their constitutional mandate can also be clearly articulated. We can also have clear procedures and roles for us to dispense with the positions that they have."
