    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue that was raised is the challenge of transfer of functions. We know that the Transition Authority (TA) was given the responsibility of overseeing and facilitating the transfer of functions. One of the challenges that came from the county executive is the fact that they are ready to carry out the 14 functions, as stipulated within the Constitution, but the TA identified the functions and transferred some of them. This is a task that now rests with the Senate. We know that the Constitution and law indicates that once the functions have been transferred to county governments, if a county government feels that some functions have not been transferred, yet they have the capacity to do it, then they need to appeal to the Senate. Therefore, we, as a Committee of this Senate, urge that the Senate considers some of the appeals, if at all any have been forwarded to it, so that we are able to assess the capacity of the counties and look at the functions that they were not allocated."
