    "content": "I appreciate that, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will rephrase it in English. We are used to a delegation system where the President would pass by your village. If you had a problem, for example, if a roof of a school had been destroyed by wind, you only had to present your problems to the national Government. I do not think that this attitude of waiting for the national Government to solve small problems at the local level is something that the Senate would like to retain. We, therefore, would like to encourage transfer of functions. I like what Sen. Karaba raised, that some counties have no capacity. If you read Part III Sections 24 to 28 of the Transition to County Government Act, you will see this very clearly. Article 24 says if you transfer the functions, then you must also transfer the powers and assist the competence of the institution that will receive those functions. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
