    "content": "just as this Chamber got independence from the National Executive. For a long time, we have placed county assemblies under the control of county executives. Sometimes, if a governor wants to control or frustrate the county assemblies, they decide not to give them money or other resources. By controlling the budget and resources, you confuse the entire assembly. This is a very noble Bill. The two arms of government at the county level need to work independently, just as we work with the National Executive. The county assemblies and county executives should be financially independent. By giving them authority and resources, we empower county assemblies to oversee their executives effectively. As we give MCAs these funds and autonomy, they should now start overseeing the county governments and county executives properly. They have now been given the funds to do so, but they must be accountable for them. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
