    "content": "our country cannot and must not be taken in such a way that it defeats development and the needs of the people. What the people of Murang’a, Bungoma and all the counties want is to see development and food on the table. We will not have food on our tables unless there is proper governance. That is why I have been a very ardent supporter of Sen. Sang’s Bill. This is because the Constitution emphasizes on the need for consultation, servant leadership and the need to see what the needs of the people are. It is only through consultation that we are going to address those needs for the people. Therefore, it is my view that even as we talk about separation of power, we must appreciate the current needs of our nation. We must consider where we are in our level of development and see that we cannot, strictly speaking, talk about things that are not going to benefit the development of our country. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to touch on only one asset or national resource; that is water. I notice that water and forestry have not been devolved in full. We have only devolved them in terms of implementation of the national Government policy. I think that is important because we cannot leave water tower to the counties. However, my question is: In my county, the only natural resource we have is water. The only minerals we have in Murang’a are quarry stones and murram. We have no other resource like oil,"
