    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I start from the premise that every institution involved in devolution has a right to organize a workshop or an annual meeting on devolution to assess the achievements of that devolution from their perspective, taking into account their mandate under the Constitution. If you start from that premise, then the governors have the right to organize their devolution conference, which will assess the achievements of devolution, taking into account their mandate under the Constitution. The Senators also have the right to organize such a conference, taking into account our mandate under the Constitution. The county speakers have a similar right and so on. Part of the problem has been that we have taken the governors’ devolution conferences to be ones that assess everything on devolution. During the first conference there were issues of protocol and most of us did not appear. In fact, only Sen. Gideon Moi appeared at that first conference. In Kisumu, similar issues arose, but we have to take into account that, that is their conference. Should we not also organize a devolution conference to assess ourselves and the achievements that we have made under the Constitution? Can we not also invite the Council of Governors or whoever wants to come to join us? Can the county speakers also not do a similar thing? If we can do that, we will get somewhere. The way forward, taking into account that next year is the fifth year---"
