    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to also support The National Government Coordination Bill. From the outset, we know the role played by the Provincial Administration and also the undefined roles of the Cabinet, which is now being properly put and provided for in this Bill. It is known that with the new Constitution and the creation of counties, the counties are not independent states of Kenya. But they are actually part and parcel of Kenya at that devolved level. For the President, who will be the Chief Executive of the country to be able to deliver well, there must be a coordinated system up to the grassroots level, because that is how the President will be judged on the performance of his duties. He cannot do that without co-ordinated units at that level, hence this Bill that gives the proper structure of the Provincial Administration, as provided for in the new Constitution. It is also good to ensure that as the Central Government takes place at that level, the chiefs, their assistants, the DCs and now the County Commissioners have proper provision of their tools of trade. For example, if I single out the sub chiefs, the chiefs and the Dos, most of them do not have offices. They also do not have means of transport to reach the areas they are supposed to serve. For them to do their job well, the Central Government must ensure that they are provided with proper offices for proper coordination. They should also be given proper means of transport. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
