    "content": "I know there are issues of accountability. People normally ask whether these devolved monies are used for their intended purposes. That is a different question. There are institutions and agencies that are supposed to be in charge and look after that money and how it is spent. That one we leave it to them, to go and investigate and see where the money is but we must devolve more money. I am saying this because I know that is what Kenyans want. Before devolution, there is no way a county like Migori where I come from could have ever seen Ksh5 or 6 billion. There is no way especially when things go the way they normally go during elections. The only guarantee they have that they are going to receive Ksh5 or 6 billion is through devolution. If devolution is not there, those people will be getting peanuts for the next 100 years. I know there is the other Bill that is coming for what used to be called conditional grants, but it has now been turned into a Bill on extra money. But let us safeguard devolution. Let us fight for devolution. Devolution is what is going to save our country. Let us all make sure that devolution works in this country because that is where the Mama Mboga and all the other people we speak about live. That is where they stay — in devolved functions. So, Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
