    "content": "For most of the things that we do, we do not necessarily require to make laws to have them done in the right manner. For example, on the issue of Funds, the Controller of Budget (CoB) has a statutory mandate to regulate formation and administration of Funds in the counties. Why is the CoB allowing proliferation of many Funds in the counties? That is an issue that the CoB should address. While still on the issue of Funds, we have the debate on Bursary Funds in our counties going on. Governors are complaining that they cannot run Bursary Funds without a kitty. The problem with Bursary Funds in the counties is just inability to follow the law. Issuance of bursaries is a national Government function. However, the Constitution provides that whenever any level of Government wants to perform a function that is not theirs, they need to have an intergovernmental agreement with the other. Most of the Bursary Funds that are run in our counties are not supported by intergovernmental agreements with the national Government. That is where the problem is. So, they can run Bursary Funds, but only if they have an intergovernmental agreement with the national Government, which they do not have."
