    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I will be very brief. I also rise to support because, from 2010, when our new Constitution was promulgated, one of the most important things that came up was the devolution of powers and functions. Schedule Four is very clear about the functions that are at the national level and the ones that are devolved to the counties. Over the years, we have seen a lot of meddling, sometimes by the national Government on things being done by the counties. In the last two Parliaments, we had issues in the health sector, for example, where the national Government would even procure equipment for the county governments without any plan or agreement whatsoever regarding the clinics that were bought and the medical equipment. It has been a very difficult time. This Bill will help us because it will help put order in how each level of Government does its things."
