    "content": "be accountable to the public. Even if it means to amend the law so that the transfer of this money is done with immediate effect, I think this should be done. I am one of those Senators who think that our counties are not ready to carry this kind of responsibility but on a second thought, we must see something being done. They must be seen to be responsible. I know there will be opposition from KeRRA and from quite a number of people who have benefited directly from this kind of money to say that it will be very difficult for the county governments to manage this kind of funds. From the contributions of the Mover, I must confess that I am not quite sure that the structures are there. If the structures are there, then there is no need for us to leave this money in a central place. It has to be distributed to the people who are supposed to be helped with this kind of money. I want to support this Motion very strongly and also suggest that this money should be transferred very fast because we are at the training stage in the counties and also in the Senate. None of us can claim to know what is extremely good for this country but we are trying. We need to see to it that functions that are supposed to be transferred are transferred as quickly as possible. We must also be careful as Senators not to encourage certain things that we are not very sure of. We must be sure of what we are saying because the public believes that this Senate has very responsible people who know what they are doing. Therefore, there are some functions that we might not want to be transferred immediately. We must be capable of advising this country and especially the county government which we are responsible to. They are also responsible to us and I think we will be able to work harmoniously with the county governments if we select what we think they can do. We should not pass this Motion just because we are politicians because this country trusts that nothing will go wrong in the county management systems if we are here. With these few remarks, I beg to support."
