    "content": "of devolution that we have that ensures that resources are utilized properly. The emphasis of our devolution should not be about power. It should be more of service delivery. It should be more of making a difference in people. This chest thumping and talking about who is more powerful or who can speak last is not healthy. The privatization of devolved units to be entities of one person who does not take orders from the county public service board, a person who does not believe in the county assembly, a governor who does not believe in his own deputy governor and so on is not good. We must have an entity that includes everybody. Article 174 of the Constitution stipulates the self-governance of the people of the local level is indicated. The people at the local level must be proud and must carry their flags and be proud of their governments at the counties. The reason why the county assemblies and the county governments are being held into account more in terms of people getting agitated when they waste public funds is because people are near their elected leaders. So, they keep asking where the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) have gone and for what reason. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must ensure devolution works and becomes an example for the East African Community. I beg to note."
