    "content": "We also looked at the delivery we are getting at the county levels. For example, agriculture is fully devolved and with the funds allocated to the counties, we expected that we would have what used to be done by the national Government in terms of introduction of extension officers and more support to farmers, but unfortunately, practically, nothing has changed in terms of farmers getting more informed on how they can make billions from the funds they have. Hon. Speaker, some lessons have been learnt from devolution and the use of money at both levels of Government. There seems to be a disconnect. We do not have a good link between what is going on at the county levels and at the national level. Do they understand their agenda? Is there a clear agenda at the county level of what is the national Government’s agenda? That link is missing. There should be a more cohesive way in which the two levels of Government work and have more synergy for them to feel that they are one and have a common agenda. Maybe the Division of Revenue Bill will help."
