    "content": "Remember that was the time that we were just turning the curve and getting into the cycle of devolution as a country. There were many laws that needed to be passed and many challenges in county governments. I recall the amount of work that they did, traveling most of the afternoon. They missed Plenary sittings while resolving disputes between governors and their deputies as well as county assemblies and so on. I wish that be the guiding spirit of the present Committee on Devolution and Inter-Governmental Relations Chaired by the very able Sen. Abass. Sen. Billow Kerow, my first Chairperson in the Committee on Budget and Finance. That is a Committee whose job and duty I took with utmost zeal and enjoyed serving. Perhaps, my best Committee. This is the Committee where I enjoyed serving in the most and gave me an understanding of the place of the institution of Senate under the Chairmanship of Sen. Billow Kerow. Sen. Billow Kerow ensured that our reports, especially on Budget Policy Statements (BPS) though ignored by the National Treasury, would always find a way of speaking and closing ranks with our colleagues from the National Assembly, despite the fact that those times there existed very frosty relationships between both Houses."
