"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend those who have spoken before me on this very important Motion. This Motion has come timely. I would also like to commend the Mover of the Motion and say the devolution is closer to the people for better development. We all supported and signed the new Constitution. It is very clear that Article 96 talks about the Senate and its mandate. I know that we have 16 women Senators. I was very concerned because it is only the men who were catching the eye of the Chair and I was wondering where the position of women is. I am even going to call upon the women of Kenya that come next elections, let them be elected to the Senate because we are going to be closer to the people for better development and prosperity of this country. Therefore, let more women catch the Speaker’s eye so that they can support devolution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a Motion that should have come like yesterday. It is almost coming late. I support the sentiments by other Senators. We need to respect the laws that have been put in place. We need to conform to what is being said and what is in the law so that we do not make mistakes or mislead the Government of the day. We all like this country and love our leaders so we do not want to look like we are fighting one another. This country is big enough for all of us. The space is big enough for us to make 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."
