    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to give my views on this issue. Devolution will only be meaningful if it reaches the lowest person possible in the village. I am grateful that this concern is being shown at this early stage, so that should there be cases of those who might be tempted to overstep, they will be hearing from us as early, as we are doing now. The best model of devolution has been shown through the way the CDF has been handled and it has worked. I am aware that there are some governors who would have wished that even that CDF be given to their offices for them to manage. We have been saying this very clearly and strongly that, that will only happen over our dead bodies. We will resist that to the end and this applies to the Road Levy Funds. Those must continue to be administered at the constituency level and we shall, under no circumstances, allow that to be handled by the governors. I support devolution and I want to assure our people in the counties and the governors that we fully support it."
