    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Mover of this Bill. I am happy that it will still go through the Committee Stage because there is a lot that we need to harmonize. For the short time that we have been here, it has been a learning process. Some of us who had a chance of visiting our counties, we realized that devolution is at work and the Senate has a role to play. For example, when we went to Elgeyo-Marakwet, we could see the inconvenience as a result of the distance between the headquarters of the original district and where the county headquarters is. Similarly, when we went to Kilifi, we found out that the County Assembly is in Malindi whereas the Governor with a half of his officers are in Kilifi. It makes it logistically very difficult. The Senate is witnessing that devolution is at play and maybe we have not put our House in order. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
