    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs that we might need to restrain ourselves. When we visit our counties, there are issues that the locals want us to address. They just tell you: “Can you tell us this and that.” It is important for us to know the specificity of what the committee is seized of. Our only food and bread and discussion is devolution. Once we are gagged--- For example, we will be happy to know that nine counties are being interrogated by the Committee. Then we will avoid issues on those counties. We will not raise them as examples and then we will focus on others. The House is being bashed right, left and centre and the only way we can make our case to the public is to tell them that, for example, “the Auditor-General or the Controller of Budget reports says this and that.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, we hope your ruling will not gag us from the general principles of devolution and accountability because that is our bread and butter."
