(Dr) James Nyikal","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Chairlady, while I support the funds that have been allocated to this Department, I am not quite clear what this State Department does on a day-to-day basis. We know that the process of devolution is beset with very many challenges. Even the coordination mechanisms, the Inter-Governmental Relation Technical Committee (IGRTC), the Council of Governors (CoG) secretariat, the harmonisation between policies at the national Government and implementation at the county are problems that we are facing. I would call upon the Departmental Committee that is in charge of the implementation of the Constitution – and I believe we have that - to follow up on this and let us know what exactly that Department does. Otherwise, I support."}
