    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I am passionate about this legislative proposal because it is one of the most progressive measures the 13th Parliament will have taken for this country. This legislative proposal breathes life into the objectives of our new constitutional order, which we bestowed upon ourselves in August 2010. One of the key objectives contained in our new Constitution is devolution. The second tier of government received Ksh415 billion this afternoon to cover its recurrent and development expenses. You will realise that, at the county level, many governors have been personalising governance by behaving like demigods. County assemblies, by the very creation of the Constitution, are required to provide checks, balances and oversight to ensure good governance, accountability and transparency in the management of funds appropriated by this House at that level. However, that objective has been fundamentally undermined in the execution of the mandate."
