    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. In my formative months in this House, I served in that Committee as a Member before I later joined the Standing Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization. I commend the work that is being spearheaded by the Committee's Chairperson, Sen. Abass, and his Vice Chairperson, Sen. Mumma. I implore that as a Senate, we need to support that Committee because whatever work they are doing is actually the anchor of what the Senate is doing, especially on the issues of the urban areas and development that we have been pursuing. I am also looking forward to issues of transfer of functions. Several years down the line before we anticipated the devolution of engagement, we are yet to really agree on what functions remained at the counties and those that were the national Government. There have been several conflicts and if this Committee is supported to come up with a way that we can address these, then as a Senate, we will have achieved at least one thing in this House. I commend whatever work that the Committee has done, and I support the Statement that the Vice-chairperson has just read. Thank you."
