    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill aligns very well with the functions of the county government in Article 110 of the Constitution. I am happy that as Senators, with our mandate under Article 96 of the Constitution, we continue to ensure that we entrench devolution and devolved functions. As we fight for resources for counties, one of the main drivers of making sure that resources are taken down to the grassroots in the counties is to make sure that functions are also devolved. This Bill does just that. It ensures that resources follow functions. I do not want to say too much because it is a very straightforward amendment that I am sure will be supported by Hon. Members, since it entrenches devolution. It devolves functions, which should then attract resources. As the House that is mandated with protection of counties and their governments, we then have a better chance in ensuring that resources are devolved because functions have also been devolved. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and I congratulate Sen. Shiyonga once more."
