    "content": "friend, Wambora, unfortunately decided to make a bed but poured water on it. He has to sleep on that wet bed. We will, today, assure Kenyans that the suffering that people undergo out there while queuing at Governor’s offices, day in day out, waiting to pick jobs when jobs have been given out through back doors to cronies is something that this Senate will correct. This Senate will defend the public against errant Governors. This Senate will work hand in hand with Kenyans of good will. We urge County Assemblies to carry out their responsibilities under the Constitution, of representation, legislation and oversight. Where they find such transgression, they should neither fear to act nor act in fear. They know that this House is there to defend and look at what they do with open minds, within the law and within the Constitution. I urge the distinguished Senators seated here today that perhaps, we are opening a pandora box. However, if the pandora box will clean the worms and leave the can clean, so be it. We want devolution to work and it will work, not because we are sending a message with Mr. Martin Wambora as an example, but because a wrong in one county is a wrong in all counties of this country. This Senate will rise to the occasion and say no, no, no! I urge you, Members, to vote in the affirmative because the Committee has given you a very comprehensive, well reasoned, well presented and well argued report that nobody in his right frame of mind would cast a descending view. With those few remarks, I fully support the Motion on the Report and congratulate the men and women who sat on the Committee and brought this precedence setting Motion to the Floor. I beg to support."
