    "content": "Devolution has brought great hope and promise for our country and certain things that were unheard of for the last five decades. This, we must celebrate. There are a few county governments that have done well, but it is also true that there are serious threats to devolution. The biggest single threat is not the national Government. The way the Constitution is crafted, no authority can undermine county governments without breaching the Constitution significantly and attracting the consequences thereof. The biggest threat to devolution is internal. It is corruption, theft, wastage, and robbery of resources left, right and center. Even as I join the Senator for Kakamega - the self-declared anti-corruption czar - I also ask him to reconsider, alongside other colleagues, the mistake that Senators are about to make. Dear colleagues, you do not mitigate for a weak Senate by running to become governors so that you can enjoy the trappings of power. You mitigate the effects of a weak Senate by pushing for the strengthening of this House and other institutions and remaining here to be a check and balance on the plunder, robbery and theft that is going on in our countryside."
