    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the population of Trans Nzoia County is 818,000 and not 818 million. It is very important that people are made aware of what devolution is because it is new. People must accept change because devolution is here to stay. The purpose of devolution was to move the power and the resources to the people. In essence, what I am trying to say is that we should all understand what devolution is all about. We should make sure that counties are allocated more money so that they are able to provide services to the people. When we talk about public participation, it is very important because if the public understand the Bill of Rights, they will be able to interrogate how their money is being used. Over the weekend, it was very unfortunate, when I went to some remote area of my county and people have never seen the leaders they elected since they voted for them in March. So, to them, they do not understand what devolution is. People still carry water on their heads and mothers have to walk three to four kilometres to fetch this water. I was so embarrassed and I did not know what to tell them because I am a nominated Senator. I only told them that I was going to see how I can be able to go back there and dig even 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."
