    "content": "As I support the Bill, I do it from the perspective that we recognise that we need to bring sanity. The Transition Authority (TA) operated within a timeframe. It was not able to separate or complete some of the most critical concerns. We were left with a lot of confusion. The Leader of the Majority Party made reference to the key concern with regard to the manner in which the assets were handled. The TA supported inheritance of assets from the national Government to the counties which was not prudent. My great concern is that the national Government had very clear systems in place. When we look at the whole idea of PFM that we are talking about, the national Government already had in place systems and a lot of officers who had been well established in terms of how business is done. The county governments did not have sufficient opportunity to model and learn from the national Government how devolved governments can be effective, accountable and transparent. The very key problem in a number of cases is that they got officers who had absolutely no experience in working in Government to come and sometimes handle serious portfolios such as finance and other related issues."
