    "content": "The Jubilee Coalition promised to give 40 per cent of the revenue to county governments. I congratulate the Coalition because they have provided 32 per cent and this is the first allocation. Many county governments are yet to set up their structures. Therefore, the 32 per cent will be helpful, so that they can set up the structures in order to serve the people of Kenya. Devolution is a very important concept. I was among the people who were opposed to the new Constitution, but devolution is a very important provision. My mathematics works out to an average of almost Kshs6 billion per county. This is money that most of our areas have never seen since Independence. For the first time, many areas in Kenya will attain development that has never been realized before because of this devolution concept. I only hope that those who are in charge of county governments will do their job and put in place proper structures. We will not accept a situation where money is sent to a county and the structures are not there, so that we remain with a job in future of investigating where the money went to."
