    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I will not belabor too much because I have heard what Senators have said. That is the purpose of the Second Reading. It is to bring to fore the proposed legislation and allow ventilation. I share many of the sentiments that have been highlighted during the debate. We need to be careful and protect devolution. All of us in this House are in agreement that when it comes to devolution, we must ensure that more than any other institutions, that we are vigilant and make sure that our counties are nurtured. I only have one more remark and it connects to the contribution by my brother, Sen. Hassan, whom we agree with on many issues like the wonders of devolution, fantastic opportunities offered in our counties to grow areas which have been marginalized for a long time, including my own county Tharaka Nithi. Therefore, I am a champion of devolution because I know as the rest of Kenya is being transformed Tharaka-Nithi will be transformed through devolution. The only thing, I do not agree with Sen. Hassan, is that in everything he has to see national Government and some conspiracy theories about the national Government. I am saying this because I have just heard him say that when the Bill talks about capacity, it is trying to demean counties---"
