    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you very much. I want to dissuade you from the notion that the constituencies which we represent do not belong to counties. I do not know where the Senate usually gets this impression that when we discuss anything about devolution of counties, we do not have a mandate to do so. As representatives of the people, we have the responsibility to talk on behalf of our electorate. That electorate exists in counties. I want to side with the Leader of the Majority Party when he says that we reject the Senate Amendment. I also want to add that almost all of the devolved functions that we are talking about have been taken to the counties. What remains is to devolve resources. We should be talking about how the central Government will devolve more resources to the counties. Otherwise, the functions had all been taken to the counties, as it were. I want to side with the Leader of the Majority Party."
