    "content": "If we do not give the necessary support to our county governments to ensure that they succeed and give meaning to the lives of the citizens of this country, we will then find ourselves in a very difficult situation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir--- Madam Temporary Speaker, I apologize. I did notice that the Chair had changed while I was on the Floor. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must ensure that at all times, we promote good behavior in our county governments. Because the Senate is the primary institution that makes laws on behalf of our county governments, we should always seek to find where there are challenges so as to provide the necessary legislation. In doing so, our counties will succeed and we will not end up finding ourselves in a situation where citizens say that because we cannot trust the center and the devolved units, maybe it is better for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to collect revenue and divide it equally amongst all Kenyans. Then you make your contribution and see what you want to do. For us not to get to that state, it is good for us to ensure that all facets of devolution are properly supported. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill seeks to address the challenges that have been seen in human resource management in our counties. I am sure that you are aware The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
