    "content": "“Chebukatic” because he followed the law the way it is supposed to. I thank you, Clerk of the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House will go down in history as one that has many firstborns of devolution. I believe we are not less than five former Members of County Assembly (MCAs). I was an MCA in Kiambu County between the year 2013 and 2017. You sitting there as our Speaker having come from the seat of a governor, means that this House has all its corners from the side of the Executive and Legislature at the local level well represented. If this House never performs, there will be no other that will perform better than what we will do within this period. Mr. Speaker Sir, as I conclude, if I was asked, although no one is asking, in future, we should give those who come from the village, the first-timers, an opportunity to be the first to speak because we understand what devolution is. If you follow the traditions and ranks that have been there, you will find out that the new people will never be able to speak because we will have to wait for those who have been there to speak. Therefore, we probably need to amend the Standing Orders or give us a day where those who are new will be given priority when it comes to representing the people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you lead this House, always remember to use the ‘Chebukati pronouncements’. Follow the law because it will always vindicate you. I thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir."
