    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with the sentiments expressed by Members who have contributed. County assemblies should be granted autonomy to make decisions independently without relying excessively on the county executive. When county assemblies lack autonomy, they are unable to exercise effective oversight over the county government. This has led to numerous challenges across the country. For example, MCAs are taken on small trips. Such gestures are presented as sufficient, while essential functions, such as ward development funds, which are traditionally used for localised projects, have either been removed or withheld at the whim of governors without any consultation or reference to the county assemblies. If county assemblies have autonomy, such practices will no longer be possible. With that, I support."
