    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, and perhaps the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, that as they go around the country sampling counties that are either compliant or not, to be firm and speak to the governors. They should inform them that there is a law that allows them to transfer core functions and mandates to these boards, so that we do not end up having boards that are not autonomous, cannot make decisions on their own, or are just an extension or rather an appendage of the agreement. With those many remarks, I congratulate the Senator for Kisumu County, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda Odhiambo, SC, for a very well-thought-out Statement. I know this gives a chance to most of our governors to allow people below them; municipal managers, accountants and heads of water service providers to be functionally independent, so that they can perform their core duties as envisaged in that Urban Areas and Cities Act."
