"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you deducted that minute, it would be from me, but I can say something similar to what hon. Mbadi is trying to say. There is need for an urgent national discourse on this matter of devolution. Indeed, it is there and it must be implemented. When Kenyans passed the Constitution, the highlight of the Constitution was devolution. But what is happening is not what Kenyans wanted. The principles of devolution are not understood and are not being adhered to. Governors and such players are only focusing on the money that is coming to them. Of course, spending has nothing to do with priorities. But if we look at the principles that govern devolution, the biggest and most important thing is devolving power and finances, so that Kenyans can prioritize what they want in their respective counties. That is because in a centralized system, “one size fits all” approach does not help Kenyans."
