    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be brief in the interest of time. I rise to support for one major reason. Having been here for the last few weeks, it is time to go back to Kericho to thank the voters for the chance they gave me. Secondly, we are going on recess to determine whether the issues that we pass in this House translate to tangible services that affect the lives of wananchi, who smiled with so much hope the day they heard about devolution. It will be a good time to reflect so that we can come back as a re-energized House. We should not only narrate the problems in the counties, but find ways of surmounting them. Lastly, I support the move to hold our own conference. The Senate and County Assemblies will take time to reflect as a legislative wing. Hopefully, we will sharpen each other. I speak as a Member of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget where we receive petitions on a weekly basis. From the petition one can see some sense of hopelessness that is creeping into wananchi concerning county assemblies. It will be an opportunity to find ways of working together with the county assemblies to make devolution a success. I thank you."
