    "content": "every time we go to the constituencies because health services in the counties, which are devolved, would be working. We would not be losing our people to COVID-19 because counties are not prepared. I know that there are some counties that are doing very well and we must congratulate them. I will not name them here. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, besides this interdependence, we have a role by the Senate in terms of safeguarding devolution. They represent the counties. We know that they are doing a good job. What we want to ask them is that protecting the interests of the counties must start with demanding accountability for the funds we are sending them to see a clear linkage between monies going and improvement in the lives of the people. It is not just saying we are protecting the counties, we want to get the money, but that money must translate to better livelihoods. It must translate to better lives of the people. I just want to emphasize that I have read the Committee's Report and I agree on the issue of pending bills. It is something we need to resolve, especially because our youth are suffering. They took loans to provide services and goods to county governments and they have not been paid. The earlier the governors can sort them, the earlier we can eliminate poverty at that level. I thank you. With those words, I support."
