    "content": "We really should be pushing to ensure that we implement our Constitution which called for the reformation and elimination eventually of our Provincial Administration. We should make sure that we support devolution to make sure that there is no duplication of duties and that the county governments staff can deliver and do all of the duties that are necessary and that are currently being done by the Provincial Administration. I think a serious commitment to reformation of the Provincial Administration should be undertaken. I know that an immediate elimination of the Provincial Administration may be hard. We should find a way to trim the excessive Provincial Administration which has been doubled and make sure that money goes to the county governments which should do some of the duties that the Provincial Administration does. The Provincial Administration has been maintained and expanded causing confusion and competing with our county governments. We should push back on that. If the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta is serious about saving taxpayers’ money, we can start right there because it is something that has been ordained in the schedules of the Constitution. We are supposed to implement it. Let us start things that we can do on a serious level."
