    "content": "If we look at the Constitution, it becomes very clear that the county governments are recognized as governments within the Constitution. There is also the national Government. In this kind of environment, it becomes necessary that as requested or required by the Constitution, a mechanism be put in place to allow both the horizontal and vertical relationship of the county governments. This is important because the framework in which devolution is supposed to operate is through consultation and co- operation. It is not in a situation where one Government – that is the national Government – is loading it over the county governments. So, in an attempt to create a mechanism, our consultants again after a lot of extensive discussion with the public, believe that creating a legal mechanism to facilitate this consultation and co-operation will be very essential."
