    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also take this opportunity to support this Bill as brought by my good friend, Sen. Sang. We are in a new dispensation and riding on a new Constitution. We need to set it right and lay a firm foundation so that tomorrow when we are done, history puts us in our rightful place. The law proposed herein will curtail, among other things, haphazard developments based on service, political and parochial whims. This Board is just a solution and we are all leaders. There is no Senator who is interested in leaving his national role to go and run for a gubernatorial position. Therefore, those fears are misplaced. This Board is premised on the same line with the District Development Focus (DDF) under the Moi regime which was a very good policy. However, it lacked implementers during that time. We need to do a lot of dissemination of information in terms of what projects are being done and where. The MCAs, Members of the National Assembly and Senators are all stakeholders in the counties. You cannot purport to be a leader if you are not involved in what is being done, where, by whom and under what terms. Members of the National Assembly have a privilege since they are provided with the CDF which has money for 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"
