    "content": "We wanted to have economic devolution. We devolve units that would help us spur some economic growth in our country. We can tell that one, two or three counties already look like they are generating some economic activities from where they are. Any legislation that we make should be aimed at helping the governors realise the law that we want. We want them to grow employment from the counties. We want to see farmers doing better than they were before we decentralised, but not the way we are now. What we are experiencing in quite a number of the counties is unnecessary political competition and quarrelling. This stagnates growth and we mark time for another five years which is not useful at all. If you ask many of the counties, including where I come from today, they will tell you to take back the health sector to the national Government because the governors have not spent time to deal with the issues that they needed to deal with from the beginning."
