    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish I had five minutes, but as a loyal servant to the people of Migori County and Kenya, I will stick to the one minute allocated to me. The biggest challenge we face lies in the inefficiency of the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) and other agencies tasked with championing transitions. These entities have failed to establish the responsibilities I have been addressing. It is high time this House considers scrapping the IGRTC entirely and transferring its responsibilities to the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. The Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations has more authority and capability than IGRTC. Look at what is happening in Nyamira County Assembly, IGRTC has done nothing about it. Why can we not empower the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations to take up these duties? We need to and clearly define the roles of deputy governors, county speakers and their relationships with governors. Without such measures, devolution will always remain under threat."
