    "content": "I want to urge this House that we consider making adequate provisions for infrastructure development if at all we are true to the spirit and the intentions of the Constitution as far as devolution is concerned. We need to bite the bullet and make adequate provisions. Attempts have been made but we still have not conclusively believed in the Constitution. At this point, I want to urge the Front Bench to support our recommendations which are bound to come shortly with the review of the Estimates; that adequate provisions be made to accommodate the two levels of Government. The other bit that I want to speak about is the popular topic of sharing of revenue. This is very critical in so far as going forward with our new Constitution is concerned. You will remember that the jewel in this new Constitution is devolution. It is a jewel to the extent that everybody expects to feel part of Kenya in terms of development. This can only be realized if, indeed, we remain patriotic, fair and committed to developing the entire nation."
