    "content": "The other very important consideration on this matter, which we must keep in focus, is the issue of devolution. It is a framework and structure of governance that we have now not only enacted; but by the Bills that you have enacted in this House on matters to do with land, you will find that the county governments and communities are going to play a critical role. So, again, as against the principle of devolution, these Bills, including the Land Bill, can be audited to find out whether, indeed, the land law that is envisaged by these three pieces of legislation underpins the structure and constitutional framework of devolution. I think to a large extent you will find that some effort has been made to underpin not only the spirit but the structure of devolution in ensuring that the management, particularly of public land, is directed and overseen by both the national Government and the county governments. This is in the spirit that under this new Constitution, the people are supreme and sovereign."
