    "content": "your village, you benefit. We are Members of the National Assembly for five years. Thereafter, one might lose one’s seat and go back to the village. When you find development happening in your village, through devolution, you will be very happy. So, I am requesting Members of the National Assembly to come out strongly in support of devolution, so that this country can move to the next level. If we are going to receive 40 per cent of the national Budget while seated in our village, it will not be necessary for anybody to come to Nairobi to ask for anything. People will have everything at their doorsteps. They will have any kind of development that they may require. The only thing that Kenyans need to do is putting in place good managers who can properly manage the monies at the village and county levels. Therefore, in supporting the Motion, I would like to say that the Government should increase the level of funding to the devolved governments. We are going to support and defend devolution so long as it will do good work as envisaged in the Constitution. So, I urge all hon. Members to support the Bill. Let us be pro-devolution from today. With those remarks, I beg to support."
