    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the chance to contribute to this Motion. I wish to fully support the Motion on the basis that it is timous. This is the time devolution is taking shape in our country and it is part of the implementation of the new Constitution which we fought so hard to pass. I disagree with my colleagues who do not support the Motion. I do not see it as a threat to the standards of education as alleged. In my humble view, it will help the locals within the county to eradicate poverty because they will be able to participate and provide the necessary equipment or whatever may be needed locally instead of waiting for resources to come from the national Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also know that the Senate is there to oversee the smooth running of the education system within the county. We will be able to vet and ensure that nothing goes wrong or nothing is abused. By the end of the day, it will be a win-win situation for everybody. Perhaps Senators need to take a tour of the country. There are actually some counties where schools look so pathetic and if everything is devolved especially the infrastructure or the buying of equipment, then the county governments will ensure that all those schools within their regions are well equipped as those where perhaps, devolution occurred a long time ago, may be, due to the nearness or accessibility to the central Government or the headquarters of the country. Without saying much, I just wish to fully support the Motion."
