    "content": "following requests by numerous counties, we recently conducted public hearings on transfer of functions to counties. The Report of the Sessional Committee on Devolution on the matter is currently before the Senate. I trust that it will be adopted. This, dear colleagues, is an indication of the Senate’s commitment to fulfilling its mandate as bestowed on us by the citizenry. Let us endeavour to do all we can to make devolution work and make Kenya a better country for the benefit of our generation and the generations to come. Hon. Senators, even as we adjourn for the recess, let us be alive to the provisions of Article 218 of the Constitution which requires that Parliament considers the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill before the end of each financial year. The Senate, therefore, maybe recalled from recess for a Special Sitting when the two Bills have matured for consideration. I trust that Senators will avail themselves for this noble constitutional duty if and when called upon. I take this opportunity to thank all of you for your cooperation and commitment to work which has brought us this far. I wish you a fruitful recess and happy Easter. Thank you."
