    "content": "created devolution, everybody in Kenya celebrated because we knew the national cake of Kenya would be divided and sent to the grassroots. In the process of embracing devolution, it seems we missed something on the way. We needed a structure to oversee the distribution of the resources and the sharing of the national cake. We left most of the things to governors. Later on, on second thought, we created the offices of County Commissioners, which are, indeed, parallel to the offices of county governments. As a result, there has been competition between the two institutions and sometimes it is so negative and confusing that we do not know who is overseeing what. If we look at the case of transfer of assets as a Member said, we do not know who owns what. On the case of our doctors, we believed they were under the county governments, but when the issue of salaries arose, we saw everything blamed on the national Government which left the doctors and their issues in the middle. We did not understand who was supposed to handle those issues."
