    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to join my colleagues who have spoken before me in congratulating the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for presenting to Kenyans a Budget that to the extreme has devolved Government revenue down to the grassroots. I say this because this is the first time that we, who represent areas that have always been marginally under-represented, feel that we have been equitably allocated resources alongside all the other areas that have always been benefiting from Government revenue which is generated from every single Kenyan. In fact, as my colleagues have said, it also lays the foundation for the devolution that we envisage would be coming once the Constitution is revised. The biggest responsibility for hon. Members is oversight, not only for national level issues but also implementation of Government projects at the constituency level. The devolution of resources down to constituencies will enable us to execute the oversight responsibility on how these funds will be utilized so that they can benefit mwananchi. Of course, we will be bringing the feedback here and also share with colleagues in the Government."
