    "content": " Thank you for that information. We presume this Governor is innocent until proven guilty. If he has not done anything wrong, why would he fear being questioned about what he is doing and parading himself everywhere? Sometimes the law does not punish people on behalf of others, but sometimes examples must be set because this is going on and on and on. This devolution will come a cropper if we do not get it right. We devolve resources to help the rural people; we devolve resources to help the disadvantaged people. I have said here and I can again say that we have counties like Wajir where children read about tarmack roads in books, where children read about piped water in books. Now we are telling the youth of Wajir that even if we are giving you Kshs3 billion, that is more money than the Wajir County has ever received throughout our 50 years of Independence. That money can change lives; that money can jumpstart lives. So, this law must be fine tuned properly. It is not enough just to say let us give 30 per cent to women, the youth and the disabled. We must have a mechanism of how to finance that process and how to audit that process. 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."
