    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Firstly, I want to congratulate Hon. Mwaura. His initiative in this House reminds us of the work of a nominated Member of Parliament. He is concentrating and focusing on the mandate to serve people with special needs. He needs to be congratulated for doing that. I do so profusely. Secondly, although there are challenges of devolution, there is a lot of positive work that is going on in the 47 counties in terms of enabling constructions that are in agreement with the needs of the local communities. That is being done by NCA together with the county governments. Once we pass this Motion, we need to proceed and operationalise it, with the help of NCA. We need to talk to the respective governors. Hon. Mwaura knows the relevant Committees. Even in his individual capacity, that can be done so that his work can be enhanced. I would like to commit that this requirement will be complied with in my constituency. It is a big job. Finally, I take this opportunity to join Hon. Gladys Wanga in welcoming the youth from Homa Bay County, the home of the late Hon. Otieno Kajwang’. He volunteered and represented my team of eight Students Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU) officials then. He appeared in court for two years representing us free of charge. It is time for us to look into positive ways of reconnecting and, particularly, even reviving the spirit of Jaramogi and Jomo Kenyatta in this era. Thank you very much."
