    "content": "We have a responsibility of ensuring that our people gain from the taxes they pay in this country. I hope the weaknesses that I have witnessed before are not a cancer that will spread and affect some of us. I really fear cancer. The cancer of corruption is very serious in our country. We cannot pretend that it cannot reach us. We are not super, but ordinary human beings like all others. It is our duty as elected and nominated Senators to represent the interest of our people and to make sure that devolution works. We want strengthen even by increasing the devolved monies. I understand that the Kenya Kwanza Government does not need to amend the Constitution, to increase the allocation of resources to Kenyans. We hope they will increase the resources going to the counties. Nonetheless, the resources should not be increased in order to line the pockets of individuals. I do not want to speak more than that. Once again, I stress that we have been given a heavy responsibility. Therefore, we must ensure we do not disappoint. Let us work to satisfy the needs of the Kenyan people. I support."
