    "content": "Governors, the Senate and the Control of Budget with regards to the success of devolution. That meeting is long overdue because we have serious issues that we need to be addressed. We hope that can be presented in a proper meeting where as adults we can face each other if there are legislative gaps that need to be filled up. When I said this earlier, Madam (Dr.) Margaret Nyakang’o reached out to me and shared her thoughts on it and said it is not just her office alone. That, you need to bring in CBK and so many other institutions that need to resolve that issue, particularly on the decentralization of services so that we do not have 47 County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) trooping to Nairobi with papers waiting for approval. Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to challenge Sen. Roba and the Members of the Senate Standing Committee on Budget and Finance Committee that, they need to lead us in that particular discussion. There are many things that I could say. Lastly, I would like to celebrate the industry that I have seen in this House the last two days where we have legislated. Apart from debate, many people do not know that there is actually lawmaking that goes on where you debate, you remove certain clauses and agree to certain amendments. That has been happening in this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank all the Senators that have participated in the last few days in ensuring that this comes to pass. With all those remarks, I want to wish Senators, members of staff, and the people that work around the clock to ensure that this institution succeeds a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, just in case we do not meet. However, you never know. I have moved adjournment Motions before and gone on to celebrate my holiday together with family and friends, only to be recalled when duty calls. So be on standby; Sen. Githuku, and Sen. Faki, please be on standby because you never know. I also wish the Senators and Members of Parliament who are participating in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Games well, as they troop to Mombasa tomorrow. Bring as much glory to the country as possible, interact, widen and deepen integration with regards to the East African Legislative Assembly Games and so many things that we need to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I beg to move and request the Senator for Migori, Sen. Eddy Okech Gicheru, to second this Motion."
