    "content": "We may have to do some amendments; we are actually supporting devolution to minimize conflict and to share information, which we all need. We need to know the development agenda of the county government. We need to be involved as Members of Parliament, so that when they are doing their plan, we also do our plan at the CDF level. We do not duplicate. That is what is happening at the moment. Our MCAs - and let us be honest to each other - their level of supervision is very weak. We need to strengthen them. So, if that body is formed with amendments, we will be able to strengthen the county governments. That is the reason why we are here. We are not here to pass laws; we are here to improve the wellbeing of our people. We are here to ensure that funds are properly used for roads, water, schools and hospitals. So, all the activities that we are doing, irrespective of our functions, whether we are the Executive, here in Parliament, at the county level or the governor, we have one role - to reduce poverty in this country."
