    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and the Chairman, Sen. Kibiru, for summarising the work that our committee has done on behalf of the Senate. The report and the Bill attached to it is the most important business that the Senate does. It is the duty of the Senate to divide to all counties money that is supposed to be used for running the affairs of those counties every year. Today, the report making that proposal a Bill, including the proposition, is the subject matter of debate in this House, after it has been moved and is being seconded by myself. This is an important moment. I hope that all Members of the Senate will have the strength and stamina to sit long hours and participate in debating and adoption of this important Motion. The weakness of devolution is about funding. Many times, we talk about governance which can be dealt with and the attempts to deal with governance. Human beings can be brought back to operate within the law and sanctions. However, if funds are not available, then there is little likelihood that services will be offered and devolution will not have its meaning."
