    "content": "The Committee was informed by the decisions of the High Courts of Machakos and Meru in 2016 and 2017 respectively that declared the office of the deputy speaker in counties invalid. However, upon further reflection and pursuant to a decision by the High Court of Nyeri last week, that found the position of deputy speaker valid, according to Article 178 of the Constitution, Section 21 of Elections Act and Section 9(4) of the County Governments Act, to the effect that it could not have been intended in the Constitution for the Speaker not to have a substantive deputy, I have satisfied myself and my Committee that the amendments may not be suitable and move to withdraw them."
