    "content": "Budget for shepherding this Bill so as to make it non-contentious. He has also made sure that the views of all the stakeholders have been taken into account. I also want to thank my fellow Senators for supporting this Bill. Article 176(2) inspired this Bill. It states that:- “Every county government shall decentralise its functions and the provision of its services to the extent that it is efficient and practicable to do so”. There is no other way of effectuating this article other than sending money to the smallest political units that we have in this country; the ward. The changes that have been done by the Committee will ensure that the executive power of a county reposes with the hands of the governor. Therefore, we have ensured that the concept is adhered to. The people who are going to manage all these entities are part of the executive of the county. However, issues of complaints of marginalisation and skewed development at the counties will now be addressed by this new Bill. Today is a historic day. I know that the MCAs and Kenyans at the grassroots level are celebrating."
