    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, library services are a devolved function. I served in a county that had a library. However, libraries were not constructed in all the counties. It is the feeling of this House that we should have at least a library in every county. The only remedy to that is to ask for conditional allocation for development of those libraries, just the way some counties were given funds to develop county assemblies and county headquarters. Otherwise, as it is, the function is devolved. The Cabinet Secretary should just shoot straight to the answer instead of so many sentences and still lying on the same thing. My supplementary question to the Cabinet Secretary is this. If you say that libraries were devolved, how come that the only national library in Nairobi in Upper Hill was retained by the national Government? After this sitting, you should go and gazette the transfer of that library to Nairobi City County. As for the other libraries, unless we do conditional allocation of grants for development, then the Cabinet Secretary will have nothing else to do. Since Cabinet Secretaries are not responsible for allocation of resources, we cannot say that she remains with a lot of money in the Ministry. We should ask the National Assembly to address that matter."
