    "content": "Still talking about the transition at Paragraph 20, the President stated that there has also been accelerated transfer of functions and personnel to the county governments. This is true and, in fact, that accelerated transfer, I think, was too fast. The current Constitution gave this country a period of three years so that these functions could be transferred as and when the county governments have the capacity and the know-how to be able to handle those services. However, as it happened, particularly, in the health sector; everything was transferred and no wonder we have been having problems up to now.In any event, whereas the Constitution gave three years, it is now four years and at least the target was met. However, I am just saying that the way we approached it has been part of the problems we are facing now particularly in the health sector and so on. It was because of the fast transfer of the functions without having a phase transfer and considering the myriad problems which are there in the health sector. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he gave examples of the cooperation between the national government and the county governments and one of those examples was where the national government has assisted the county governments in various issues. I noticed on page 27, it states: “The national Government has been able to provide street lights in all county headquarters and 36 other towns across the country”."
