    "content": "concept of devolution. That is why some individuals go to the extent of going to the court to stop the disbursement of funds to constituencies. One wonders where devolution is felt more. Is it at the constituency level or at the county level? The citizens need more understanding of the meaning of “devolution”. The money given at the sub-county level, which is the constituencies, is nearer to the public and it is administered at the lower level than the money that is appropriated at the county level. At the moment, there appears to be very little accountability at the county level. In that sense, we end up losing the resources. This House also has the mandate to look at the interest of the people. At the moment, we are appropriating a lot of resources to schools and the education sector. Over the last few days or months, there has been a habit of burning of the institutions by the students. This is a reflection of a society that is rotting. It is also a reflection of a society where young people who are supposed to be the hope for the future have lost values. Because of loss of values, destruction of property is a way of communication. They may be learning from the leaders because when people demonstrate they also burn things. The students are learning from adults. Because of the monies we put in the education sector, it is high time more effort was put in terms of training, imparting knowledge and all round formation of our young people."
