"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, not like Mr. Ruto. If the national Government is not there to monitor the activities of such a governor, then you can see what would happen. In Nairobi, we had another case where two Members could not see eye to eye. One of them was the Chairman of the District Projects Committee and was required to sign for all the projects in all the other constituencies in Nairobi for approval and onward transmission to Parliament. That particular Member said, “Since I do not agree with this man I will never sign anything.” So, you can imagine a situation where we have governors of that nature. So, we need those officers to serve as a unifying factor and ensure that the national Government does not lose grip. County governments should not mean the death of the system known as the Provincial Administration. It should mean that we have a more unified country where services are easily available to the common public. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
