    "content": "for me, the biggest concern is the issue of us decentralising money from the centre. Just as we are pursuing the decentralisation of money from the centre which is the National Treasury to the constituencies, I think there is a case that can also be made for the decentralisation of money from the county governments at the centre to the wards. We as Members of Parliament understand the benefits that have been accruing from decentralising money to the constituencies. I do think this opportunity we have is one we can use to give the same benefits to members of the county of assemblies (MCAs) who are elected leaders just like us sitting in legislatures in the 47 counties. So, I would like to propose that with the opportunity that we have right now, we can start working on a way of finding how we can decentralise money from the centres of counties to get to the lowest unit of devolution which is a ward."
