    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the presentations by the Chair of the Committee. I want to urge the appointees to understand the crucial nature of the assignment they have been given, the space and time they have occupied in the implementation process. Currently, they are going to fill a void in which the Government has been attempting to babysit the devolution process in a lopsided manner. All departments of varied nature have been sending officers to the counties. I believe that the Transition Authority will have a say on this as we move on. We have also had instances in which the Treasury has been sanctioning the sale of properties that have not been determined as to who the owners would be. I have an example in which the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing was going round the country with a view to selling KCC and yet it is very clear in the Constitution that co-operative societies are functions of counties. I thought all these things should be put on hold until the new governments are in place. Even the Transition Authority has no authority to sell. In fact, they are to determine which assets belong to where. The Committee did not tell us much about these specific individuals; their disposition towards the spirit and intentions of the Constitution. I do not know whether they had something similar to the “passionmeter” which was used. You did not tell us about this “passionmeter” because we want them to have passion for the implementation; passion for devolution; passion for separation of powers and passion for a change in the way we have been running our systems. The Chairman did not tell us anything about that. Maybe the Chairman himself lacks the passion but I hope---"
