    "content": "I am a Member of that Committee and I agree with the views of the Committee that we reject the Senate Amendment to Clause 4, as the Mover has said. I would like to comment on the issue of devolution, a progressive aspect that we all like, but let us not try to devolve everything. Drought is an environmental disaster. In counties, we have offices of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). The work of the National Drought Management Authority will be to raise the red flag in the case of disaster. When they raise the red flag, it is the responsibility of other institutions like the NEMA to go in and arrest whatever is happening. The notion that we have to devolve everything is wrong and I oppose the views of Hon. Anami. If we flow that trend, we might devolve everything, including crime."
