    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to second this Bill by saying that we must bring order and discipline in this country. First of all, I want to actually state that, as the National Assembly, we are not going to compromise on the issue of devolution. We are prepared to support devolution to the very bitter end and I want to confirm again that, as Parliament, we are the ones who started devolution - especially economic devolution. The Eighth Parliament came up with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Act and the Ninth Parliament implemented it. So, for somebody to behave or rather even insinuate that this National Assembly is against devolution is actually to miss the point. This is because we are already there. We started CDF. We devolved economically. What this Constitution has only brought now is what we call added political devolution. So, that is what is being added at the moment, but this National Assembly is the initiator of economic devolution."
