    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that in the 11th Parliament, we started off by having a special Committee that, at that time, set out to meet all the Governors in the various counties. In fact, we spread ourselves across the country to ensure that all the functions were transferred. However, we still have three functions that have not been transferred; these are water, roads and library services. As early as 19th February, 2019, the CS for Water and Sanitation is quoted as saying that there seems to be no proper policy to guide the transfer of water as a function to the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the statement, the Committee should- (1) Table a status report on the transfer of functions to counties in the last six years after devolution took effect; (2) Explain the policies that the Ministry of Devolution and ASAL Areas is using to transfer functions to counties, especially in relations to water; and, (3) State whether the costing of functions has been completed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
