    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am wiser. I understand that if I have to substantiate my claims on the Floor of the House, I must provide the context of the conversation. However, I do not believe this is a conversation I want to bring to the Floor. Therefore, in light of this, I will withdraw and apologise to Sen. Omtatah. I do not wish to disclose to the public the advice Sen. Omtatah gave me. By doing so, I would not do justice to this prestigious House. I would like to conclude my points on devolution. As I was saying, while deliberating on this Floor, we must remember that we are not here permanently. Some of us have ambitions beyond the Senate and envision ourselves as governors of various counties. We have a former governor here sitting in the House today, Sen. Mandago. I recall very well that during his tenure as governor, he opposed certain pieces of legislation and reports that originated from this House. Now, as a Senator, he finds himself conflicted on some matters. That is why I want to emphasize that going forward, I support and add my voice to the work of the Committee. I am speaking as a Senator. However, in the near future, I will be a governor. Therefore, I would like to executive devolution and make sure that we are well represented in our county assemblies."
