    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that purpose, it is important that we encourage the Government to fully devolve agriculture and health. If you just give a county government nine per cent, which is very little funding, how do you expect them to build new hospitals and keep them operating by equipping them with medication? These are devolved functions. If you keep most of the functions of agriculture at the national level and yet agriculture is a very important component of our economy, how then will the county government manage and control agriculture fully? Things such as fertiliser, which this House is in seize of, should be procured by the counties according to their needs. There are some counties, which do not need fertilisers at all while others do. I believe all these should go through the governors, instead of having fertiliser being procured even without implementing the Fertilizer Act. The Fertilizer Act should be implemented, so that you do not give the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), which deal with cereals, the work to distribute fertilisers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
