    "content": "We have also devolved corruption to the county governments. There is a lot of corruption in the county governments. This makes us to lag behind. We end up with pending bills. People are given contracts in some counties, but some are paid while others are not. Those who are not paid take the matters to court. The county governments end up paying high litigation fees to lawyers to represent them in court as development suffers. If we could have a structure like that of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), where the amounts for development and recurrent expenditures are specified, we would see a lot of improvement and our country would develop faster. Devolution is a success story, only that we need to improve on oversight, the structure and come up with policies on how to improve devolution."
