    "content": "With regard to ethnicity, it is very unfortunate that even though the Constitution is very clear on those matters, the fact remains that devolution is equated to majimbo in the way things are happening in terms of employment. When you go to a certain county - and I want to give the example of my county so that I am not attacking anybody - you might find that everyone who is employed is a Kalenjin. I tend to believe that this is what is happening elsewhere. How will this Bill treat that? We also have the Kamaus, Onyangos, Mohammeds and many other communities who were born in Baringo. How will this Bill treat that? The other matter is that it is high time that the Government realised that a county government has a perpetual life. It does not end with a sitting governor who has been voted out. You should be a lawmaker when you come to this House. For that reason, I suggest that there should be a trustee for the county governments to take care of the resources that are left by a governor who is voted out. When you are voted out as a politician, the projects that you started remain as a white elephant and are never completed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the incoming governor will run away from those projects. Eventually, it is a great loss to this country and development."
