    "content": "debts, transfer property and assets, you will realise that the county council will never do it without the authority of the Minister for Local Government. The most important question we have to ask ourselves is that, do we want to create county governments which are going to operate in a situation where they are debt ridden? The French Philosopher, Rousseau once said: “Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.” So, we are giving birth to county governments, but they are everywhere in chains. Just the other day in Nyeri, the Governor could not go into offices because the workers were on strike and an auctioneer had closed the gates. That is a big national shame. If we are aware of our responsibilities, we cannot allow that to happen. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to plead with my colleague, Sen. Billow, that these debts are being paid on account that they were never incurred by the county governments, in the first place. They were incurred by a component of the national Government as it operated at that time."
