    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for granting me this opportunity. From the onset, I support the Report on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2025. The Constitution talks about two levels of government; one, the national Government and 47 county governments. These county governments are referred to as distinct with constitutional mandates that must be carried out. From the word go, we would like to tell Kenyans and anyone else who cares to listen that Kenyans are one and there are no Kenyans that we can classify as belonging to the national Government and others belonging to county governments. That is why revenue that is shared between the two levels of government must be done in such a way that the other 47 levels of government are able to operate because they have functions provided to them by Kenyans. I laud one outstanding personality in this Republic; Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. I am happy that the former Prime Minister will come to the Senate tomorrow to address the Senators. Sen. Nyamu looks surprised, but she should be prepared for tomorrow because the father of devolution will be at the Senate. We are ready to listen to his words of wisdom. He is a man who has a firm belief in devolution. He has supported devolution since then and continues to support it. The former Prime Minister stands with the tenets of devolution even when a number of people are not happy about it."
