Watetezi wa sheria hiyo wasema inalenga kuimarisha uwajibikaji na kuzuia mgongano wa maslahi katika serikali za kaunti.
Wabunge wanaounga mkono Mswada wa kuwazuia magavana wa zamani kugombea ubunge au nafasi za MCA kwa miaka mitano wamesema hatua hiyo ni muhimu katika kuimarisha uwajibikaji ndani ya mfumo wa ugatuzi nchini Kenya.
Kwa mujibu wao, magavana hushughulikia bajeti kubwa za umma na mara nyingi ukaguzi wa hesabu zao huendelea hata baada ya kumaliza muda wao madarakani.
Wabunge hao wanaeleza kuwa iwapo gavana wa zamani atachaguliwa kuwa Mbunge au MCA mara moja, anaweza kutumia nafasi hiyo kuathiri au kudhoofisha mchakato wa ukaguzi wa matumizi ya serikali ya kaunti.
Aidha, wanahoji kuwa sheria hiyo itasaidia kuzuia kile wanachokiita “urejeleaji wa kisiasa”, ambapo viongozi waliokamilisha mihula yao huendelea kushikilia ushawishi wa kisiasa kwa kuhamia nyadhifa nyingine za chini.
