    "content": "I congratulate our Chairperson, Members of my Committee, staff and stakeholders who helped us visualize the need for this Bill. It is important for accountability and devolution. It is the way to go. If we all do our part in small but important bits, at the end of our tenure here, we will have done something others will have an opportunity to build from. This piece of legislation will encourage dialogue and constructive engagement between the national Government and county governments. We cannot just walk into the backyard of a county government, take over his activities and put money without involving it. County governments will also not walk into the national Government domain and purport to do certain things that should be the exclusive responsibility of the national Government. This will end or reduce such confusion. It will also end and reduce duplicity, double planning, and wastage of public resources. It will allow the stronger arm to know what the weaker arm is doing and needs. Without this kind of synergy, we will have projects that suffer from under-usage because of poor planning."
