    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is an important Motion because when we talk about devolution we are talking about taking services and resources closer to the people. It is only this way that we will be implementing what the Constitution desires that Kenyans must be served from close quarters. The only problem we have is the cost. If you go to constituency level then the cost is going to be prohibitive and it might not be possible to implement. That is something to be considered now that the Mover is urging the Government to do this. When it comes to implementation, I hope this will be taken into account. The counties, particularly counties like Vihiga have let Kenyans down on devolution. If you go to big hospitals like Vihiga District Hospital, there are no medicines, doctors or X-Ray machines. If you were to be treated there, you have to look for a surgeon from outside, which is very costly."
