    "content": "not equitable. Now we have the chance of getting ourselves back on track, by coming up with a plan which is all inclusive, consultative and has measurable indicators. So, in the first year, the government will have laid down some basic infrastructure and ensured that, for example, in areas with water deficiency, at least, there will be water which will be accessible within some given maximum distance from the homesteads. After that they can move on to other areas like health, roads and education. At the end of the five years, that county government will say: “We were here and now we have reached here.” Without this kind of a plan, one will not even measure whether he or she has made any progress. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support fully the idea of having the plan and the requirement that such plans be the responsibility of the county governments and not the council of governors, because the entity that we are dealing with is the county governments--- We are after ensuring that devolution works and the units are the county governments. The Motion recognizes that there are other levels. For example, we have the sub-county level, ward level and village level. Right now, they are recruiting administrators for those levels. All those levels of government have to be indicated clearly in their five year strategic plan. The people at that level, like the administrators, should be the ones monitoring that. That way we can easily know whether we are moving in the right direction. Madam Temporary Speaker, I second the amendment because it makes the Motion clearer and more implementable. Thank you."
