    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. It is important, for the record, to know that the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) organized a conference for all Senators and all Governors, and this conference is long overdue because we should have done it the first month we were elected. But because of other programmes and the commitments of the county governments, we were not able to do it. From tonight up to Sunday, we have a very important schedule whereby we are expected to discuss and deliberate on very weighty matters which, among others, relate to accountability measures, collaboration mechanisms relating to county governments and ensuring that we are also able to have input of Senators in what is happening within the counties. It is at that meeting that we are going to discuss various legislative amendments that will enable the various legislations to be more concrete in terms of the application to protecting and promoting devolution. We shall also discuss other matters, even those that include whatever constitutional amendments we may propose. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is a very important meeting and I support this Adjournment Motion to enable all of us – because it is all of us who are going to travel – and I encourage all Senators to avail themselves because this is one unique meeting that brings together all the governors and Senators."
