"content": "unable to consider direct requests and community engagement because they must ensure that the person with the power of the purse is happy. Therefore, Hon. Temporary Speaker, to save time and allow other Members to contribute, I would like to encourage them to support this Bill. Members of County Assembly (MCAs) have been looking for this particular empowerment since devolution began and the establishment of the 2010 Constitution. This will be a landmark law not only for the county assemblies but also for the general public. We should remember that, in terms of political administration in this country, MCAs are at the lowest level, at the ward level. Enabling them to have funds that give them autonomy to serve members of the public at the county wards is not only about this House and the Senate passing a significant law; it is also about creating a legacy that will strengthen devolution beyond our tenure as Members of Parliament."
