"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I first take this opportunity to congratulate you and your able Deputy on your election. Secondly, I congratulate my fellow Senators who have been elected to serve in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I served with you in the Council of Governors (CoG) for two terms. I am happy that we have Members in this House who were in the other House and they now acknowledge that this is the ‘Upper House’ and that, indeed, they erred in passing legislations that undermined devolution. I am happy the wheel of devolution has rotated 360 degrees and we now have Members who were in the National Assembly, the Cabinet, former governors and Members of County Assembly (MCA). We also have a Speaker who has rotated 360 degrees in terms of administration from Parliament, Cabinet, Governor and now the Speaker of the Senate. As Senators, we have a golden opportunity to truly make devolution work, by utilizing the capital that we have in the goodwill of President William Ruto to support devolution."
