"content": "For example, in my county, we have a county assembly which was switched off through Short Message Service (SMS) and could not function because those who are responsible for switching it off disappeared and Members of County Assembly (MCAs) of Migori could not trace their leadership to find out formally and officially how they would respond to COVID-19. This Bill does not cushion and guide the Office of the Speaker. Therefore, it is possible that in future when we are not here, we may have a head of Parliament who is in bed with the Executive and we end up with that difficulty. We can also have one who is directly intimidated and told that the power is absolutely his or hers and so he or she can switch off the National Assembly or the Senate which are militant and should not find out how money is used. That kind of situation should be avoided in this piece of legislation."
