    "content": "national Government should have devolved the policy on how counties can lease the equipment because they are the big brothers. They should have sent that document back to the counties so that counties evaluate their needs in terms of health services and the equipment they need to lease. However, this was a blanket conditional way of doing things where counties were told: “We have leased for you equipment worth Kshs38 billion and because we are the ones who are going to give you money every year, we are going to tell you how much you are going to pay every year.” Then they are deducting the same money at source. This was a big problem that was transferred to the counties. Many important functions other than security have been devolved. Recently, all Class D roads covering 32,000 kilometres were given to the counties. I can see here only 15 per cent of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund has been given to the counties to maintain those roads when the Commission on Revenue Allocation said that 25 per cent of the levy should be devolved for the counties to maintain those roads in a proper manner."
