    "content": "(a) by renumbering the existing provision as sub-clause (1); (b) by inserting the word “renewable” immediately before the word “term” in the renumbered sub-clause (1); (c) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after the renumbered sub-clause (1)- (2) The County Attorney shall have the status and rank of a member of the county executive committee. This is purely to renew the term of the county attorney for an extra term. We are adding the word “renewable” immediately before the words “term of six years”. The justification is that it intends to enhance the security of tenure to persons serving as county attorneys as it enables a new governor and the new Government coming in to have some form of continuity while legislating. We noted that the term of office of the county attorney is six years and that the county attorney has one year for transition and handover procedures should the new governor not want to renew his or her term for that appointment. It is renewable, but the new governor coming in has the option of whether to renew or not."
