"content": "Therefore, this Bill is a result of all those consultations, the results of the findings of the task force and others that are related to it, including the Intergovernmental Relations Bill and the Transition to Devolved Government Bill, which are the basis for a legal framework for devolution. It is from now that the Ministry for Local Authorities and other Ministries can have a basis for setting up county staff and county systems. I also want to say that this is a very important Bill because the whole purpose of passing the Constitution was so that we can devolve the Government to provide resources and governance to the local areas. It is saddening to see that this Bill is coming at the last hour. In the past, Parliament has been castigated that it is the one delaying things and yet in this instance, Parliament has been ambushed. Parliament has always arisen to the occasion. Parliament has extended the working so that we can be able to pass this Bill so that we are not seen as the ones holding the passing of this Bill."
