    "content": "Finally, I note that in seeking to align the road subsector and the transport sector in general with the new Constitution, there will be need to revisit how the national Government and county governments share their responsibilities on matters related to roads. Lawyers in this House – I am not one of them - will tell us that the Constitution is very clear on the responsibilities that have been allocated to county governments. In the Constitution reference is broadly made to county transport, which includes county roads, street lighting, traffic and parking, public road transport, the ferries and harbours, but excluding the regulation of international and national shipping matters. These issues might regrettably end up being, not intentionally, replicated in the Bill. I would like to leave it there and say that as we talk about the things we are considering in this Bill, we shall also, as a House, be seeking to see how funds are allocated to these matters. A former Vice-President of the United States of America wisely said, “Don’t tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value” Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
