    "content": "Speaker of the Senate shall notify the deputy speaker of the concerned county assembly accordingly and the motion by the assembly for the removal of the speaker on the same charges may only be re-introduced to the Senate on the expiry of six months from the date of such vote. I am proposing to remove “at least two-thirds” and replace it with “not less than seventy five per cent of all the members of the county assembly”. In order for the county assembly to achieve its mandate, the speaker must be self-driven and very articulate on matters legislation and oversight. He should also be able to point out irregularities without fear or intimidation. We find that whenever a speaker differs with the executive principally, his impeachment or removal is normally instigated by the governor, especially when the governor’s agenda is questioned by the assembly. The governors find it easy to use the nominated MCAs who are in the real sense their nominees. Unlike in Parliament where the number of nominated MPs or Senators is negligible, in assemblies the number is quite high and can fundamentally influence the removal of the speaker."
