    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I agree with the other Members who have spoken ahead of me that, if those facilities have to be devolved, it has to be done gradually so that we are able to complete some of the projects that we have already started. That is so that health facilities are closer to the people in our constituencies, instead of transferring them at once to the county governments. Hon. Speaker, lack of personnel in the counties is already a serious problem. When you ask the county governments to post staff to those facilities, it is a serious problem. Therefore, we should be given the mandate so that we are able to transform the lives in our constituencies. From my point of view, a Member of Parliament is closer to ordinary wananchi more than the Governor who is the head of the county government. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion as amended. I thank you."
