    "content": " I am a man of faith and for your information even the Governor of Nyandarua is a Catholic. Having said that, we borrow from international standards; these two-thirds majority is something that is in many jurisdictions. The county assemblies are supposed to borrow from the National Assembly. Recently, we failed to raise the two-thirds requirement to vote on the constitutional Bill. So, two-thirds is already a high threshold. In fact, some of us are thinking should we have an opportunity to go for the referendum, we should reduce the threshold. So, if we can hardly achieve two-thirds in numbers and here you are proposing that we go to 75 per cent, then it means you want to have speakers who are going to be rogue and removing them will be impossible. So, I oppose and oppose."
