Initially, I had supported it with amendments and already, we had prepared some amendments if at all it could have gone to the Third Reading. But now that it has come back with the amendments where the wards and sub-county boards are now removed, it is now a good forum especially for discussion on development issues and any other issues which affect our people in the county. One of the key challenges of devolution is the failure to implement it in the right manner. That is why we have several challenges including even on health. Due to the rush which, unfortunately, our governors acted in a way portraying themselves as though they were prodigal sons; that they wanted to take everything at a go, now we have a lot of challenges in the health sector. We lacked the opportunity to discuss those pertinent issues with the governors and the leadership of the counties, including the representatives from the county assemblies. Now that this Report has come, it is actually upon us as Members of Parliament to support it, so that we have a serious opportunity to harmonize our development agenda. We will implement several projects that are funded by the national Government and the Constituencies Development Fund. We will really harmonize and ensure that the people of Kenya and the people of our counties get value out of the projects that have been initiated. For the last one year, we have been getting into a lot of trouble trying to find out what the county governments will be implementing. In most cases, we only got away The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
