    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to get your attention on this because you also sit in the Senate Business Committee (SBC). Perhaps Sen. Justice Madzayo should allow you to focus on my points. I appeal to this House to ensure that when the Liaison Committee deliberates on resource allocation, committees like the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations be allocated adequate resources to address pressing issues. I am glad that despite the back and forth happening in the House, the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations has remained level-headed and executed his mandate regarding the challenges faced by Nyamira County and other counties. Today, we sit in this House as Senators, deliberating on how to protect devolution and address issues arising in county assemblies. However, I must point out that some of us have ambitions to vie for higher positions, such as gubernatorial seats. As we navigate this learning curve of county assembly matters, we must legislate with the understanding that we will not remain in the Senate forever. Some of us will transition to county assemblies as governors. We already have former governors in this House, such as Sen. Mandago."
