    "content": "Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I rise to support the Motion. There are issues which I want to point out here. Whereas we are very happy and we are very pleased to support the Motion on devolution, we have to be very careful. Whereas we have devolved funds to the county, we have not put structures in a way that we can have very clear allocation of these funds within the counties. We have had a lot of noises by now in terms of the sharing of the executive and the rest, but we as the Parliament must also look at the future, that after the devolved funds are shared in the counties we will have a lot of people saying that certain constituencies have not received enough funding from the counties. As a house, we should look at making everything very clear to the extent that even the sharing of development funding within the county has to be very clear. We have to look at the history on the sharing of the CDF and the rest of the funding which has been there, considering the level of poverty and all that. I am saying, as we look at the future allocations, let us also be very cautious and help this country to have some order by creating very clear formulas of sharing these devolved funds within the counties. If this is done, everyone will be happy with devolution and there will be no fighting. It will get to a time when people in our country will not be interested in knowing the governors because they know their share will be very clear. I beg to support."
