    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I join fellow Members in wishing Eid Mubarak to all Muslims. I hope Hon. Junet was able to follow the calendar of fasting. I sometime used to see him associating with some groups during lunch hours. I hope he was observing the calendar of fasting. I wish them all the best. I rise to support this Bill. Just like other Members have said, the position of the county attorney is long overdue. I am aware that the concept of devolution came with very good motives. One of them was to disseminate resources to the people because, for quite some time, there were so many areas of the country that had been left behind in terms of development. They were more of enclaves of some parts of the country. So, sharing of resources and improving other areas is one of the main factors that were considered. This concept, I may say, has caused confusion in governance. In most counties, including my own county, some officers have been arrested of late because of mistakes, some of them by design because they were not decisions that were informed by law. Therefore, in order to ensure that we achieve the intended goal of devolution, we need to get people who are competent enough to carry out the mandates assigned to them. In addition to hiring competent persons, there should be some sort of uniformity in counties across the country."
