    "content": "During the campaigns – and we all campaigned together - we formed coalitions and we hunted for votes together. We won or lost together. I want to urge this House that in the matters of devolution, let us form a coalition for devolution in this House that will protect devolution across our respective coalition. So, whether you are “jubilated” or “corded”, I do believe that when it comes to devolution, we can be ‘devoluted’ together across our political divide. I say this very deliberately because I know, if this House does not rise to protect devolution, there are those out of this House that may not share the same passion and will to push through the dream of devolution as you shall in this House. We can only achieve that when we forget these little political differences that divide us even on matters of great national importance. If we do that, we will actually demonstrate that we are ready and willing to look at Kenya as our overall constituency besides our constituencies that sent us here. Indeed, a great man Richard Whittle once said that:- “A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbours.” You will not be called selfish because you pursued your own, but because you ignored or neglected your neighbour’s need. I believe that, together, we can look after each other and make sure that devolution works."
