    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my view is that, as a Senate, we should always try to fight to push the envelope for the basket of devolution, that any attempts to reduce that amount are something that is to be resisted here on the Floor of the Senate. I understand all the discussions that we had. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has spoken about some of them, including the bad manners we see from the county governors. I pray that this Senate does not take out the bad manners of governors on the public themselves, the women who sell njugu at Khayega, Omwami, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, they have never offended you. They have never offended the public purse. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must find a way of dealing with some of these governors. I am looking forward to these two governors appearing before the Senate, the ones I have mentioned here. They are in the habit of addressing members of the Senate at funerals and even inciting some MCAs. You hear them insulting senators from morning to evening. When they come here, you will think they are those mtoto misa we used to see when we were doing pastoral class. A governor came here and even tried to run away from the committee by saying that he had forgotten his glasses at home and could not see."
