"content": "We have to question ourselves why, as a country, knowing the beauty of devolution in securing equity in the governance of our country, we leave to the national Government, which has few functions, a whole Kshs.2 trillion in a budget of Kshs.2.3 trillion. The reason is simple: We have refused to cost our functions so that the Governor of Homa Bay is blamed for not providing water but the Ministry of Water in Nairobi is getting so much money that would have gone to these counties and properly shared to secure water for everyone. That is why Hon. Sakaja said that some of his relatives somewhere could be lacking water. We want more money devolved. When talking about devolution, do not just tell us the national Government or His Excellency the President is required to remit a report talking about devolution. Tell us the measures."
