    "content": "The other element that is very attractive in this Bill is the creation of the fund because you need money and the means to do some of those things. It is meaningless to have boards or councils that will not do much. When they make decisions, they will not have the necessary funds to implement them. It is important for us to engage the stakeholders at that lower level to create partnerships. This Bill may help in some of those ways. Nairobi, for example, is considered to be one city. One of the Hon. Members mentioned that it is a metropolis. If this Bill comes into force, we will create within the big city, municipalities, towns and neighbourhoods that can function and can deliver basic services like street lighting, roads and sewerage systems; problems that are now in the hands of the big bureaucracy that we have created in the county. This is a way of unravelling the big county machinery that we have created, which is not able to meet many of the challenges or the complexities and problems of inner-city areas like Nairobi."
