    "content": "I want to start by agreeing with my party leader that as we have the devolved governments, we need to hold our country together. So, the relationship and the link between the County Governments and the national Government has to be very clear. Let me not anticipate debate because maybe that will come in the Inter-Governmental Relations Bill, but it is very important. Immediately we passed the new Constitution, I had opportunity to visit Canada and New Zealand and I remember Kenya being congratulated in those countries for having passed a new Constitution overwhelmingly and peacefully, but there was a rider that everybody was putting into that, that Kenyans should also be very careful not to have 47 independent countries in the name of counties. That tells you that the link between the two levels of governments has to be very clear, definite and strong for the purposes of holding the country together."
