    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that this is an issue that we have talked about in this House. This is something that we can proudly say was fruitful. We discussed our various mandates so as to be on the same page with regard to the institutions we have created. Each of these institutions has a mandate and must be respected. Although we have been experiencing challenges as we try to implement the Constitution, it is important that we, as leaders of various institutions, talk to each other and not necessarily at each other. We have seen the fruits of that. We hope that as we come back to it, we will have a much smoother time as we continue with our work and our mandate as the Senate. I would also like to thank the media for the support they have continued to give this House. We, as a Committee, need to see much more. As we go out to the counties to carry out our mandate, we hope that the media will go out of their way to highlight some of the issues that distinguished Senators will be doing at the county level during the break. Finally, to add on what the Senate Majority Leader said, as we continue to discuss, the Committee on Devolved Government and the Committee on Finance, Budget and Commerce had a meeting to discuss sharing of revenue. It is important for us, as a Senate, to continue to be vigilant on the management and use of these resources at the county level so that the aspirations of Kenyans who voted for this Constitution are achieved. One of the key things was devolution. We should continue to see to it that we keep our leaders accountable so that the lives of Kenyans are transformed."
