    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I even do not intend to be too long because this is a Bill like the others that we have discussed, namely, the County Governments Bill and the Inter-Governmental Relations Bill, in which we have consulted quite heavily with the Minister. It is fairly well drafted and so, it does not have very much that needs improvement. However, this is a very important Bill. It provides the legal and institutional framework to provide for a well coordinated transition to devolved governments. As you see, it also provides for the transfer of functions to the National Government and the county governments. He only thing that maybe we need to improve on is the time limit because this cannot be forever. This Bill also provides for a mechanism to ensure that the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution has a reference point and can see that a certain body is implementing the Constitution as far as devolution is concerned. Most important is that it also provides the requirement of national governments and county governments and makes proposals as to how those gaps can be filled."
