    "content": "Intergovernmental Relations for them to look at these issues critically. Maybe, there are legislative gaps and these are the things bringing wrangles between the county governments and the county assemblies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had the same problem yesterday when we had the Motion on Nyamira County with the same issues that are coming up in our county assemblies. These are issues we are not understanding because there are laws, systems and agencies of the Government that need to protect devolution. This Statement again has come at the right time when we have issues that are threatening devolution in our county assemblies and in the Senate as well. Remember, the functions of the county governments are being threatened, but this is devolution being threatened. We need to look at it further than how we are looking at it today and how the Senate is also handling it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have many issues that need to be looked at because devolution is also being threatened by even the national Government on roads, health and education. There are many problems that are coming up whose functions have been devolved. This House needs to look at these issues critically, especially the ones that affect devolution. The same issues are the ones arising from the county assemblies, county governments and this House as well. This is a matter of concern and we should look at it."
