    "content": "In 2008, we split the Ministry of Health. I was involved. This was not desirable but at least it improved the funding to the Department of Public Health. Again, after that, we did not manage it very well. All the same, there was indication that there was improvement. We may want to blame devolution but we must distinguish the principle from the process. What has not been right is the process which we have gone through. It is not only in health. If you go to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resource and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, you will see the same thing. It is not that devolution is not good; devolution is the best thing, but we hurried it. In fact, the Transition Authority should have been an independent constitutional commission and should not have been under a ministry. In my view, that is where we went wrong."
