    "content": "The other issue we considered is the tenure of the Office of the County Attorney. The Senate Bill proposes that the county attorney should serve for five years. We realised that if we allow that provision to stand in this law, it means that county attorney will only serve for the term of a governor, which is five years. We want continuity of the Office of the County Attorney so that once a governor’s term expires, the county attorney can continue to serve for another one or two years and provide information and support to the incoming governor. Again, we want to provide for renewal of the term of the county attorney. The Senate Bill provides for only one term of five years. We propose that the county attorney should serve for two terms: one term and renewal of another term of six years. This will guarantee continuity of legal advice to the incoming governor if at all a county were to change a governor."
