    "content": "other than setting this precedent that every besieged governor right now can be called upon to give away certain functions. We have already heard that at least 40 counties have given away the function within the health sector and that the national Government should buy drugs for them. Therefore, little by little, functions of counties are being chipped. This precedent that is being set now that I am opposed to should not happen. The national Government can help by strengthening these counties in other ways because devolution in this country is still young. We are still going to see more of non-working processes within the counties. Will we keep taking away functions? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it should also be noted that most of these devolved functions are not working properly because we have not devolved funds. The flow of funds is inadequate. Therefore, at the counties it looks like some of these functions are not being undertaken properly, yet the key problem is funds from the national Government that is salivating for these functions from counties. With those few remarks, I beg to contribute."
