    "content": "There is a scheme here to undermine governors and to profile speakers. The difference between a speaker and a governor is that the latter is elected by the people. That is why the Senate is the referral House. On the contrary, a speaker is not elected by the people and so if the Senate disagrees with the assembly, you will be imposing a speaker on the county assemblies. We should not legislate for our counties. We should legislate for the people of Kenya. I thank Hon. Koinange, particularly this week when there is a devolution conference. The National Assembly should not be used to undermine it. I talked to the Director of Legal Services. I had a discussion with my colleagues this morning and everyone is in agreement that this amendment is mischievous. If you are a county speaker and you cannot get the confidence of your members at the county assembly, you park and go! You cannot force yourself on the MCAs; they are the ones who elected that speaker and so must have a right in law to remove him."
