    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we should look at this Bill in the broad sense. We should not look at it in terms of the supremacy wars between the National Assembly and the Senate. We are looking at development. One of the elements of development is leadership. There is no mechanism for co-ordination at the moment. There is no proper mechanism even for consultations. We presently have a duplication of efforts and in- fighting. At the end of the day, even if we have the resources, they will not be utilized they way they are supposed to be utilized. I support this Bill so that,at the end of the day, we have coordination ofprogrammes and activities which are being carried out at the county and sub-county levels. Things will be well co-ordinated. At this level, we are national leaders and we must look beyond ourselves. Let us not be selfish so as to look at things that will favour us. Let us look at what can be done so that we can complement each other in terms of the relationships. In terms of the utilization of resources, we could have that streamlined at the county level and other levels for the common good. That way, we will avoid the possibility of resources being used without really meeting the needs of the people. I support the establishment of the board to provide the coordination and the efficient utilization of resources. We have one at the county level and that is good. We also have another one at the sub-county level and I support that. Even at the ward level, there is need for improvement and co-ordination. With proper leadership, we can have the development of our county at an equitable level. Hon. Speaker, I support."
