    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank all Senators for the interesting and vibrant debate. It is clear that we all support devolution because it is the silver bullet that will rescue our country from marginalization. Through this Bill, we are affirming that devolution is here to stay. We are sending more money to counties than ever before and I am sure that this will continue in the foreseeable future. It is also clear that all of us abhor the corruption that is taking place in our counties. We say categorically that time has come for all the thieves who are scavenging on county resources to be put on notice. This House will not rest until we are sure that the money we send to our counties is used to achieve the functions of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Regarding the story of “teething theft” which we have been told of many times, I have always argued that there is no teething problem called “theft.” You do not have to have any capacity to know that stealing is bad and is a crime before God and the people of Kenya."
