    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. Those who came up with the idea of county governments had a very good plan and intention. Right now, we can stand here and say that county governments are doing a good job although there is still a lot to be done. For example, in Kaiti Constituency, a lot has been done by the county government. For example, in the health sector, health centres have been built. The community is happy because there are health centres in all parts of the constituency. There is also the water sector, where the county government is doing a good job. County governments are doing a good job and we need to support them. However, there are some challenges in respect of which we cannot just sit down and watch. For example, in terms of spending of resources, in almost all the 47 counties, there is an outcry. There are a lot of complaints from the MCAs and the national Government. This is as a result of corruption and misuse of funds. It is high time we woke up from slumber and came up with an effective oversight system at the county level.
