    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, some of these Motions that we see here are things that you might not easily--- It is not like a school or hospital where you will go and see that it has been done. But what we will be doing is investing in the long term. We will have quality people serving the people of Kenya and, definitely, in 10 or 20 years to come, it will translate now to service delivery for our people. So, it is something that we should not just rubbish, but think about and invest in. The honeymoon stage is over. The time for just going to Mombasa for workshops is over. I think that we have all gone through that now. I also think that our county representatives and governors have had enough of those trips as well. I think that we now need to move on to another stage where we actually impart direct knowledge and talk about attitude, leadership and how we can move our counties forward. So, maybe the TA or Ministry of Devolution and Planning needs to think about and actually invest in knowledge, skills, attitude change and leadership of our people. As I said, after a number of years we will definitely reap from it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we do also not need to keep doing it in various towns. There are institutions in our counties, including Government institutions like the colleges that we have at the county level. They can dedicate some time to train the personnel at the county level, to ensure that they have the necessary skills. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think that this is a very important Motion that we all need to support and also ensure that it is actually implemented. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
