    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate the team for doing a good job. However, I also challenge Members that going forward, so that we avoid these mediations on this Bill, one of the things that we should do immediately we come back from recess, is to push forward the agenda of unbundling devolved functions. Once these functions are costed, and we know how much it is going to cost to roll out these devolved functions in our counties, it will become much easier to use an empirical formula to arrive at division of revenue. I also take this opportunity to sound a warning to our 47 governors wherever they are, that it takes time, resources and intellect to push these amounts of money to the counties. When we come to do oversight on these funds, we do not want to hear governors crying that there is witch-hunting, or they are being targeted for whatever reason. As the House that has approved this amount of money to go to the counties, we should have the space to carry out proper and objective oversight on these funds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I support."
