    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I rise to oppose this Bill. I am the Vice-Chair of the Implementation Committee and one of the issues that we are finding very difficult as per the resolutions which are passed in this; is the unconstitutionality of some of the issues that we are approving in this Parliament. So, as it has been said, under the Fourth Schedule, it is very clear on the mandate and the functions of the two Governments. We have our functions as the National Government. If you look at those functions, the best thing that we can do is to allow the county assemblies to play oversight on their counties. I am saying this because, as we are talking now, already in Nakuru County, we have a very big war between us and the county assembly. They are saying that we are interfering with their functions. Assuming now we bring on board the fact that we are going to sit in this board at the sub-county level, what it means is that we are going to be involved in decisions that we are not supposed to be making. It is not right. Just like you have advised under Article 176, the county government has the capability and, as the Constitution directs, they can be able to spread their responsibility to the ward or village level."
