    "content": "Mombasa, Governor Joho has made a big effort in trying to bring all the players together. The county executive consists of young, vibrant and energetic people who want to spur the county. MCAs are also very enthusiastic. It is the intercession between the various arms from the county executives to the MCAs that I would like to commend Mombasa County in terms of the dynamics that it has put in place. I also want to urge other counties to bring everybody together. I have been saying this at various forums and I want again to ask from the Floor of the Senate; how many counties have tried to bring all their players together just to have a discussion about the roadmap for that particular county? The leadership should put together the governor, the executives the MCAs and members of public service boards so that they can have a conversation and share a vision for the counties. This will enable them to have a more participatory and consultative process which they can again share with other members of the public. Madam Temporary Speaker, from the reports, the mechanisms for enhancing that participation have not been put in place. So, a lot of information that is coming from county assemblies is not known. If you go to most of the county assembly galleries, when a session is going on, you will hardly find members of the public and yet they are very important for ensuring that the development of the county is upheld."
