We have taken to the county governments a whole bureaucracy that gobbles a lot of the money that should go into service provision. How I wish that the Senators would have looked at this and say that for the county governments, this is the kind of establishment you expect; that you will have the governor up there, then the deputy governor and the CECs but before the CECs, we will have this lean structure. As we speak, you cannot have 70 per cent of ... view

• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: if the national Government speaks about the county governments then they are fighting those county governments is wrong. It is also because the national Government has also not made it its business to set these basic minimum standards. If you are going to give county governments money for running health, build a simple dispensary in one or two counties and tell the county governments: “This is what we want to see you doing.” Set the example. If it is about water, set up a system for water in one or two counties which agree and then tell the county governments: ... view
