    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the transfer of functions that my good learned friend, hon. Martha Karua has referred to, it must be realized that the Constitution has already defined the functions that are to be transferred, but the process also requires that the capacity for each county for handling those functions be also recognized; therefore, to see that we are debating these Bills towards the end of February is, to me, a disappointment. I would have preferred that we had enacted this law as early as December last year, so that we could create the atmosphere, mechanisms and the capacity building for the counties. If elections are held in December--- I suggest to my country, with respect, that the time to start listening and looking at my Bill for amending the Constitution is now, so that we eliminate this doubt, and everybody knows what they are talking about when they talk about the elections date."
