    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Sang for bringing this amendment Bill at this time. For the last six months, since we got into devolution, we have seen scenarios of developing the counties. I wonder whether these governors are the same people who were campaigning before March, 2013. I also want to thank the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights for taking this Bill through all the steps that were mentioned by the Chairman, Senator Wako. They visited and consulted several stakeholders that are the guardians of the implementation of the Constitution, particularly the Commission for the CIC. Very many jumped into condemning the originator of this Bill even when no other Senator had seen it. I was surprised that even in my own County of West Pokot, before I knew that this Bill was in existence, everybody was up in arms confronting an innocent person. That was me; I was accused of wanting to take up their work. People in the neighbouring counties were saying the same thing to the extent that the relationship between the Senator and the leadership on the ground today, total incitement has been passed on to the county executive members. We were in Rwanda with the Committee on Education, Information and Technology (ICT). I met the County Majority Leader from West Pokot while I was watching citizen TV in my bedroom. The fellow was saying that Senators are very idle. I did not know what he was talking about, but when I came a month later, I had the privilege to look at this. I could not believe whether they were talking about the same thing that had been written here or it was something else. So, there is total misunderstanding on the ground. So many people have given it their own versions, but I 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"
