    "content": "We can deal with the issues of corruption at the counties. I support devolution and the money going to the counties. In counties where the governors have worked well, we have seen the effects of devolution and that it is a good thing. One of the worrying things about this Bill in the schedule is the Equalisation Fund, which has been allocated Kshs6 billion that has not been utilised at all since the inauguration of the new Constitution. Now we have to look for almost Kshs4 billion to take care of the new agreement between the Senate and the National Assembly. I will not be hesitant to suggest to Hon. Mutava Musyimi that, probably, we could get some money out of this Equalisation Fund, which has not been used before. There have been suggestions about dealing with the Judiciary. It is an independent entity, which is very special. There are reasons why we had advanced some money to the Senate, though there may be a need to review it. Utilisation of the Equalisation Fund is said to have delayed for lack of administrative mechanisms"
