    "content": "Furthermore, we need better alignment between national resource allocation and responsibilities that are assigned. A lot of roads have been assigned to the county governments but as you know, the allocation of resources even after the first cut of the devolved roads, was held back, and only minimal amounts were passed on to the counties. If you want to realign institutions to the supreme law and reality of governance, you should also align resources for roads that have been assigned to county governments. We should not have intense lobbying by the Council of Governors and others for roads to be constructed. Our rural roads are so crucial because they move more people and goods than the highways, but they do not get the resources that are needed for construction and maintenance. Those panya roads that move people and goods on motorbikes and rugged vehicles really matter in moving the economy. We are not a supermarket economy, but a retail one that relies on the local stores and local produce. Resource allocation to the county governments is extremely important."
