    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion that the House do now adjourn. I recollect that yesterday when we were debating here, you said “until you hear from me”. Before the Members hear from us, we thought it is important that you also hear from the Cabinet Secretary and the Chairman of the Transitional Authority. They are waiting and as soon as this House agrees to this adjournment, they will come here. They will explain and tell the House why we are having these problems in devolution. I know for sure that the National Assembly is committed to ensuring that devolution works in this country. Those people who think that the National Assembly is the one bringing problems in devolution, they had better be told that the National Assembly will be in the front line to make sure devolution works in this country. Therefore, I want to set the record straight. It is clear that some functions that are being devolved, the counties are not ready for them as yet. Therefore, for this country to move forward, we must move in a clear manner and in a manner that is not going to inconvenience the citizens of this country. Therefore, without wasting a lot of time, I second this Motion. I urge Members to agree that we adjourn and have these people before us, so that before the end of the day, you will hear from us."
