    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Chairman also clarify the following:- One, whether it is true that the High Court ruled that the presence of County Commissioners was illegal and that position was confirmed by none other than the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya? Two, the functions that he has purported to list here within that Ministry are largely vested in the activities of the county governments. These are devolved activities such as matters of youth and women. If you look at the Constitution, even counties are vested with authority to do their own planning. The planning at the national level is very minor. Why should we have a Ministry of Devolution other than the confirmation of the reluctance of the Jubilee Government to fully embrace devolution? They want to continue interfering with devolved units from the centre through the creation of a Ministry that looks completely out of place within the devolved structure and the structures of the new Constitution."
