    "content": "future. I am, therefore, in total agreement with these amendments. This will further enhance delivery of services. We have all along been emphasising on the benefits of devolved functions and funds such as the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). If we want to deliver the services of this Authority to every part of this country--- As my colleagues have noted, there are pockets of some counties that we call “healthy counties”. Let us take an example of Meru which is taken to be on the slopes of Mt. Kenya and, therefore, has a comparative advantage in agriculture. However, Buuri is a constituency in Meru on the leeward side of Mt. Kenya. It receives very little rainfall and we border arid counties such as Isiolo and Laikipia. Unless we have county offices that have regard to some of these facts such as geographical disadvantages, then a national office may not take note of this. Parts of this country that are affected by drought but are in counties considered to have sufficient rainfall will be disadvantaged. Therefore with those remarks, I beg to support both amendments by the Senate. Thank you."
