    "content": "recommended at 20 per cent, land area is 80 per cent, basic equal share 25 per cent and fiscal responsibility 2 per cent. This means that we have now achieved what has been the intention of the Government all along; it is to have even distribution of development across the counties. With this, we can now say good bye to poverty. We are saying good bye to unequal distribution of opportunities and resources. Therefore, I think this country is now on the move. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we elect good governors, I can assure mwananchi that within five years, we will be talking of a different country all together. You will be talking of a country which will be developed. You have been talking of a country which will be developed; you have been talking of a country where all the basic services will be available because it is upon the governors to effect that. The role of Members of Parliament is left to basically legislative and oversight. So, we expect that the actual implementation of CDF and LATF and other devolved funds will be upon the governor. So, really, the governor is the person to be blamed if things do not work, and the person to be commended if things work. Now, we do not want to hear when something happens: “ Serikali saidia”. From now onwards, I am now telling Kenyans that if there is a problem, if there is a landslide, if there a catastrophe, if there is an emergency, now please say: “ Governor saidia ”. That will be his responsibility. With those few words, I support."
