    "content": "When the new Constitution was promulgated, the Government did not want to delegate some of its functions. County governments said that the national Government was commanding them. Currently, the county governments and the national Government agree that there are issues they need to work together to resolve. However, who is supposed to bring them on board? In the Constitution, there is nothing about that. The National Assembly deals with money Bills and the Senate usually oversees counties. So, if you were to give more money to counties, especially with regard to the health function, where would that money come from? It has to start from here. Devolution is a good thing. We all agree with that. There has to be no suspicion. We need to be accountable. We should be able to interrogate the activities under devolution. If you look at the Intergovernmental Relations Committee, it does not report to the National Assembly, but it reports to the Summit and the Council of Governors (CoG). As legislators, we have no role there The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
