    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is the first time the Constitution is being implemented and there is going to be an issue about interpretation and translating it into action. That is understandable. The level of disarray that has been in operation across the various institutions has been disappointing. That is going to have an impact on devolution. Many people are now looking at the various roles. We are looking specifically at the Senate and they think we are the guardian angels of devolution, we should have protected devolution, we should continue to protect devolution and address all the issues. I know from the Senate perspective that we have done quite a lot in terms of our work in the committees, engaging with various stakeholders but we have had serious limitations. We need to find ways and means of addressing these limitations as a united Senate. We need to put our partisan interests aside, join together and begin to address our mandates and what we are meant to do in order to protect the counties."
