    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to first point out that this has been a very interesting year. This is the year that some of us had the first opportunity to come to this Chamber and to be legislators. I am proud to announce as the Chairman of the Devolved Government Committee that we have achieved a lot in terms of laying the foundation for devolution. We, as a House, have strongly defended the interests of the counties. We have succeeded in passing the necessary legislations, including financial legislations. We have also succeeded in raising the issues that needed to be addressed when it comes to matters of devolution. I urge the county governments that between now and February, they must start spending the money that we allocated to them in order to make a difference at the local level. When we come back, we will have set in motion the agenda for another Division of Revenue Bill and they must demonstrate to us that that money is making sense at the local level. I support."
