    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we know that this is the first time we are doing a trial with county governments. We know that we have diverse people and we also know what happened during the elections. Some groups ganged up against others to win the elections and we want to safeguard them so that they get the right projects rather than being marginalized. So, there should be no fear about that one. We do not want people to be marginalized. What will we do in that Board? We are not trying to macro-manage the governors but we are looking at the projects that are good for the county so that we harmonize them. We should say that this is the right project. When all of us go to our constituencies, the first thing that our constituents say is that they want projects to be initiated in their areas. We do not have money for many or major projects and yet we do not see eye to eye with governors. Because this is a new dispensation, they are trying to safeguard their territory. Constituencies are sub-sets of counties and they need development. So, we must participate in that and there is nothing to fear. This is taxpayers’ money."
