    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my good friend has referred to the change of the Constitution. It takes me back to the drafting of the Constitution that we are going to revise. At the Bomas of Kenya when we were negotiating for the review of the Constitution, the most important item that everybody wanted in the Constitution was the Article on devolution. It was the only one Article that made some of us go ahead and campaign for adoption of the Constitution, even after there were disagreements. Those of us who were in Parliament before the Constitution was amended know what we and the country suffered from. We wanted a situation where the funds from the national Government would find a way to the counties. Therefore, the counties were meant to be the primary area of Government expenditure."
