    "content": "Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, he is a very good neighbour and that is why he has shared the minutes. As my colleagues have indicated, of the 14 functions that were devolved, the last one which is No.14 says:- “Ensuring and coordinating the participation of communities and locations in governance at the local level and assisting communities and locations to develop the administrative capacity for the effective exercise of the functions and powers and participation in governance at the local level.” Governors and the leadership in the counties have forgotten this to the extent that local issues that are supposed to be solved locally jump to the national Government and end up exhausting time for leaders at the top. For example, we have a problem at Kerio River between Pokot of East and West Marakwet. The moment the three governors chose to go and convert the boys that are giving us a problem along the river into farmers by giving them water pumps to plant water melons, some of these problems would cease. However, because there is no political mileage in this many have abandoned this project. Because associating yourself with a secondary school gives credit, that is why this is the case.
