    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you profoundly. What we are doing here this morning is remedying a mischief. We ought to ask ourselves what mischief it is that we seek to remedy. When the Hon. Member for Nyando brought this matter to the Floor, we realised that a number of things are happening. The first thing is, of course, that the Executive is trying to legislate. Even more tragically is the attempt by governors to try to reform the law to benefit counties from a national government coffer. It is well understood that there are roads placed under the jurisdiction of the National Government. There are those placed under the jurisdiction of county governments. Now, what is happening is that the county governments we had envisioned to be centres of economic development are failing in raising their own revenues to a point that they are not able to attend to the needs in their counties. They now want to dip their hand in national government coffers."
