"content": "Therefore, devolving the ADC farms to the county government would be transferring this problem to the county. These workers will suffer. All the houses in which the ADC farm workers live in are collapsing. They have no health facilities. Over the weekend, I was in Nai Secondary School to preside over Education Day. The school had no dining hall for students. There were two dormitories for girls. One of the dormitories was built by the Ministry of Education while the other one was built by a donor. The classrooms were deficient. I am talking of eight out of 12 classrooms, and of about eight teachers against a requirement of 26 teachers. So, if we devolve the ADC farms in that area to the county government, getting support from the National Government will be a problem. Hon. Deputy Speaker, most of the county governments in this country are at the infancy stage. They do not even have their own staff members yet. They are in the process of recruiting members of staff. Most of the ADC farms have been left fallow this year. No farming is going on. One wonders where the money for the last financial year went. But this can only happen when we have an established system in place. So, with those few remarks I beg to oppose this Motion."
