    "content": "It is important that everyone gets to understand that when you access information you are free of contradiction. This Bill gives us opportunity for decentralizing most of the work done by the Government Printer. It facilitates the effectiveness, transparency and accountability of the work done at the county. Decentralizing means more work being devolved. There is so much work at the Government Printer. Devolving it will give better and faster access to the citizens. If the budget does not allow, we can introduce the idea of regional printers just as we have about 10 regional government printers so that we can facilitate the documentation done at the county. Several counties can come together and get one regional printer. There is much that has been done with our county assemblies in legislation. All this needs to be documented especially as soft copies and access to the people who are responsible for them. With this Bill, we get a proper framework that will enable those legislations that had been done by our county assemblies to be fastracked. Regarding the budget, not all counties will be in a position to plan for this office, but with the law in place, they will be forces to budget for their printer. Most of the county documents come all the way to Nairobi to the Government Printer to be processed. Counties will be properly facilitated the same way a person has a printer in their office. Work will be processed effectively."
