    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Motion of Adjournment that allows us, as Senators, to attend the opening ceremonies that will be held tomorrow in our respective counties. You are aware that when we promulgated our new Constitution, one of the pillars that Kenyans were excited about was that of devolution. As Senators, we are the bridge between these two levels of Government. Our absence in such meetings might allow the County Governments not to understand the very critical role that they play while at the same time recognizing the importance of certain specific roles that still join them to the central government. I also want to add my voice to the fact that Senators should be adequately facilitated to ensure that they are able to travel to their respective counties appropriately, to attend such functions and again to come back to Nairobi. Some of us have the advantage of having our counties from within; a walking distance or within where we sit. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
