    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would not be very far from the truth to allege that Sen. Hassan will never finish a speech without attacking the Jubilee Government. That is okay because he is a Member of the minority. My problem is that he needs to read the Constitution and attack the Government having read it. I want to read for my brother Article 190 of the Constitution. This Article was not written by Jubilee but by Kenyans from all shades of the political divide. It says:- “Parliament shall enact legislation to ensure that county governments have adequate to enable them perform their functions.” It goes on to say:- “Parliament, by legislation, shall provide for the intervention by the national Government is a county is unable to perform its functions or does not operate---” The issue of capacity in counties was anticipated. It is not a demeaning ideology but an ideology to compel the country to believe in devolution and to mandatorily make sure that the national Government strengthens rather than stifles the devolved units.
