    "content": "Section 26 says that there must be agreements on transfer and delegation of powers, functions and competencies and this must be based on written agreements. That is why this Motion is requesting the national Government and the county governments to enter into agreements to transfer the functions to the counties. The agreement should look at the functions and the reasons for transfer. For example, if you are talking about the Nairobi County, you can say that already, the education function was being run by the City Council of Nairobi and, therefore, since the Nairobi County Government took over from the Nairobi City Council, it is only fair that the function continues to be run. That could be one of the reasons. Madam Temporary Speaker, you can also look at the resource framework for the delivery of the functions. You can also look at the capacity of the county to deliver the function and the mechanisms for capacity building. All these issues will be taken care of. If we are convinced by Kirinyaga County which is represented by Sen. Karaba, for example, that it has no capacity to build schools, then there is no problem. The county should not sign the agreement and Elgeyo Marakwet County, which I know for sure, has the capacity to build schools, should take over their function and stop relying on the national Government."
