    "content": "opportunity to allocate resources to keep oiling this machine - this wheel of devolution - we must never hesitate to make it easier, better, bigger and more effective. Even as we give more resources to devolution, we must not shy away from discussing, considering and seeking ways of solving and addressing the challenges that face devolution. For instance, the devolution of health care services has been beset by myriads of challenges. Today, without a doubt, health care is not health care as it was when it was under the national Government. Whereas we cannot reverse such a service back to the national Government, in fact, it will be remiss to even imagine or start thinking that we could reverse such a service to the national Government, we must confront head on the challenges and reasons why a devolved function such as healthcare is not functioning effectively. It is not just about money. It is about management. It is about prioritisation. It is about the manner in which the whole service is being run. Let us divide revenue in such a way that devolution keeps growing, but at the same time, let us confront the challenges facing devolution. Another issue is corruption. I am on record for saying this and I will repeat it here without any fear of contradiction that corruption is corruption, whether it happens in Nairobi, Lodwar, Busia or Kwale. I find it rather dishonest for those who only see corruption happening-- -"
