    "content": "struggling to do something that is completely contrary that people are not even aware of. They talk about public participation that is never done. This is a very important Bill originating from the Senate. We want to believe that the counties will take the right direction from this moment. There is unnecessary competition in most counties. Once you do not have the statistics of the real needs of your people, you are likely to do what your friend is doing. You will find that most governors are constructing sports academies that nobody goes to. Some people are dying at their doorsteps but the governors are constructing very big offices as if the priority of their needs is the offices. If they get the right information from the very people they are serving, they will meet their needs. We are talking about equitable resources to most of the wards. You will find that one ward in a single county has more than five projects being undertaken in the same financial year. Another ward may just have a single project or none because the governor is concentrating on where the votes are. He is not doing his administrative duty as the CEO of that county. This Bill will make a number of things in order. We also want to ensure that the national Government has proper communication channel with the county governments. The county governments should be aware of whatever we are doing at the national level and vice versa. That way, we will avoid a lot of resources being misused at the county level. These statistics will show the governor what he needs to do every day. Most governors wake up every morning as if they are in a campaign mood and promise projects all over. Some of the projects that most of the governors who were in office last time started, were supposed to be done in two financial years are still being worked on. Most of the governors who have come into office have abandoned them. The roads that were started by their colleagues are not being worked on because people seem not to understand that the little resources can be maximised so that people can benefit. This is a great Bill that we should support. It should have a clear structure of working between the national Government and county governments. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
