    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to register my contribution to this Bill. On behalf of the people of Kilome, I strongly support this Bill and with reasons. One, the duty of the President of this republic is to promote and enhance the unity of our nation. Kenya broke after the 2017 General Election. The President of this republic opted for a handshake with Hon. Odinga to put the nation together. There have been several general elections where we have lost lives and properties in this country. This Bill will do the necessary to curb all these problems which we faced in 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007 and 2017. I support this Bill because its main concern among others is to foster peace and unity. I was a victim in 2017. I was nearly killed. I was with Hon. Mboya, a Member of Parliament, as we tried to resist after the chaos erupted. I support this Bill because it will bring peace and prosperity for the sake of the nation. It is also seeking to strengthen devolution. Kenyans want better services delivered and development projects to receive enough oversight to prevent wastage and corruption. I will be commital to the provision of this Bill that seeks to strengthen devolution by increasing allocation from 15 per cent to 35 per cent. My county, Makueni, will receive 35 per cent. At the same time, there is provision of the 5 per cent Ward Development Fund which was a suggestion by the Wiper Democratic Movement Party headed by His Excellency Kalonzo Musyoka. It was all captured in this Bill. When it comes to representation, this Bill seeks to introduce a proportional representation system which advocates for political equality. The principle of one man, one vote will allow each citizen to exert an equal influence on the formation of representation in their respective localities The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
