    "content": "We must continue fighting for the Senate, which is the anchor of the counties. I would like to remind fellow Senators that the strength of the counties is not in the amount of money that is apportioned to them; counties can be given more money but without strengthening the oversight role of the Senate, the money will be misused or and will go to enrich the governors. I would like to encourage every one of us that on matters touching the Senate, we must continue standing together to protect devolution in our country. We must stand as a Senate on pertinent issues such as the BBI Report. We need to have our own Kamukunji to dissect the BBI Report and analyze the benefits of the Senate in the Report. We should not betray ourselves. Let us continue to stand together on matters touching this particular House. I would not like to end my speech without thanking the Judiciary. I thank the Judiciary for standing firm and being independent. They could have been influenced to delay their ruling but they stood firm and respected their independence. I urge us to continue being united. I thank you."
