    "content": "Lastly is to appreciate the County Assembly of Turkana. They hosted us very well when we visited Turkana and we had promised to revenge. I hope the “revenge” from the Senate side has been worth the while because it has taken a long time before their staff have joined us. I hope that they have interacted and met all the people that they need to meet. We appreciate the partnership that exists between county assemblies and the Senate. Devolution is under tremendous threat from corruption in this day and age. As the anchors of the devolution and the institutions charged with oversight, I will ask them to focus their attention in making sure that corruption does not thrive in their county under their watch. There were reports last week about the things that are happening in Turkana that anybody that loves devolution would be concerned about. I hope the County Assembly is doing something about it. Eventually, when those reports get to the Senate, should any of the people listed be found culpable, this House will do justice for the people of Turkana. I am only saddened since the former Speaker was a very good friend of mine. We served with him as Members in this House for the last two terms. Unfortunately, he seems to have fallen out with the County Assembly and he is now out. Nonetheless, that is the power of democracy. I wish the new Speaker, who is part of the delegation, well. May he serve to the great goodness of the people of Turkana. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
