    "content": "The other comment I would like to make is on revenue collection at the county level. There is a big issue that we need to give more money to the counties. I support that but more importantly what the governors should look at is putting in place structures that make sure that the monies that are given to them are used properly. We get a lot of complaints and reports in newspapers about this. But in my mind, as much as many people blame the governors, I think it is just the issue of structures. So, before we add more money, governors should take upon themselves to improve those structures and then we must support devolution. On the issue of collection of revenue at county level, although there are ways on how it should be distributed, I am convinced that since we went into devolution, collection of revenue at the county level has gone down. That is another area we should look at as much as we clamour for more taxes and revenue from the center."
