"content": "I want to say that I am very impressed as a person and as a Member of this House for what you have done for our country. We are happy with what Jubilee has promised and has delivered. So, for the first time places like Samburu will feel that they belong to this country because of devolution. Having said that, I am a little bit concerned that as Members of this House the budget for the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) has not been discussed in this House in depth. I have seen our country grow into a country of commissions. Sometimes I find these commissions almost doing nothing but getting a lot of money. For example, if you look at the CIC, you will realize that since the country passed the Constitution in 2010, they have not been doing much. There is no need to prefect the country. We do not need to pay them a lot of money to instruct us on what to do. That is why you see Nyachae commenting on everything and anything. I think it is time this House took their money and paid our county representatives. I was impressed by one hon. Member who was in one of the television shows; I think he is Eng. Gumbo. I have not verified the facts, but I think he is right. In countries like India, with millions of voters, you have only three commissioners. In our country, we have so many commissioners. I would like to say that in our next Budget Estimates please Members---"
