    "content": "People may cite areas where devolution may not have been successful so far but I remind those people, including my own self, that there is a law in this country which can also be improved to take care of the devolved system of governance. We can even review the existing laws to strength or improve the county governance system with a view to holding county government workers to account. We can even improve the systems they use for accountability and any other form of operation at that level. This has also made it easy because a problem in one county may not be similar to that of another county. We have had consolidated problems and that is why we are now having issues. That is why you find certain matters being reported in some counties while other counties are safe and doing very well. Finally, it is also important to rank development or usage of money down there in the counties. We can set benchmarks or pacesetters as far as utilisation of funds down there is concerned. We can pick the best to help us improve the entire sector. It is also important for this House to consider other matters which are not in this Bill that can help in improving the county governments’ utilisation of funds. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill and hope that other Members support it, so that we improve utilisation of money within the county governments."
