This is a crisis which could shutter the dreams of Kenyans and their aspirations. The questions people are raising out there is whether the SRC is an agent sent to destroy devolution. That is now what is on people’s mind. We, as a country, all agreed that we need devolution to work so that we could achieve fair distribution of resources across the country. Through devolution, we can achieve faster and more efficient system of delivering services to the people. Through devolution, our people would be allowed to participate fully in matters affecting their own welfare. We know that through devolution, we could also achieve faster rate of development. In so doing, we reduce the high levels of poverty among our people. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in debating this issue, we really need to understand the actual role of MCAs. These MCAs are elected and enjoy the confidence of the people. They are fully mandated by the people to articulate the people’s views, challenges and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
