    "content": " This idea of devolution is very sensitive and many Members of Parliament here have been fighting for regions. I am sure my party is very keen on having regions. Having regions is not a bad idea, but the problem we have had after last general elections has threatened many people. In fact, I live in the Rift Valley and yesterday I was in Kitale, Trans-Nzoia. Majority of the people in Trans-Nzoia, are so scared about this idea of regions because some of these people had their houses burnt and so they are not even ready to reason. The moment you say you want regions; they think they will be chased away. So until we make people cool down and know that it is not going to affect them, it can cause a lot of problems because if we just jump into it and say, we must have regions; it does not matter whether there are eight or fifty or eighty, regions, people are a bit scared. So let us give them time and give ourselves time. Once we do this, even if we come back after one month, two months or three months after passing this Draft Constitution, we can discuss the issue of regionalism as an item and pass it. Maybe it will help us more. Thank you very much."
