    "content": "functions. The Ministries of Health; Agriculture and Livestock Development; Water; Sanitation and Irrigation; Mining, the Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs still have a lot of money that is being allocated at the national level while these functions were devolved. At what point does the national and county governments meet and see the need for each other? Where is the link? In my view, the Inter-Governmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) is not working. The CoG Secretariat and the IGRTC are fighting each other instead of working together. How does the national Government get to know the problems of the counties? Where do the technical officers at the county get an insight in the process of the policies that will affect what they will implement? That is the problem and that is what we need to address. Where can we address it? Is it at the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC)? IBEC has this meeting. I will talk to the Chairperson for the Budget and Appropriations Committee because I am interested to listen to this. If IBEC would come with the details that we require and come to us at the time of discussion, we may solve these problems and will not keep having these negotiations year in year out. This is because, we would have seen the need at the National Assembly when we are discussing the Division of Revenue Bill."
