    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker, for protecting me once again. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if indeed the Jubilee Coalition is intent in implementing devolution, then what the Transitional Clauses, under Clause 17, anticipate is the fact that the Provincial Administration should be the one that is supposed to be in concurence with the devolved governments, and not otherwise. I was hoping that His Excellency the President would tell us what he intends to do with the National Government Co-ordination Act. I am saying this because if we believe in the principals of the rule of law, this is not empty rhetoric. We must deliver on the promises that we make to Kenyans. We must speak things that we believe in because that is why Kenyans trust us to come to this august House. Now that the issue of devolution looks like it should not be touched, let me go to the easier one on laptops. Laptops are good things. I look forward to a day when I can order oranges and tomatoes online from the women who sell mboga in Ndhiwa. For a President who believes in implementing the Constitution, Article 43 of the Constitution is sacrosanct. It anticipates the right to economic and social rights. The right to have and these are the rights that should be realized under this Constitution. Before we realize those rights, issues like computers are then aspirational. In meeting the obligations of the Government on implementing economic and social rights as under Article 43, the test that is normally taken into consideration is how you use the little resources that you have."
