    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I also rise to support the Committee’s proposals and amendments. We should not lose the gains that we have made in devolution. We have come a long way, particularly to devolve health services, so that we bring them closer to the people. I know that my sister, Sen. Elachi, is very passionate on the rights of mothers and young ones, but I want to plead with her to look at this amendment from a holistic perspective. Under the Constitution, as our able Senate Minority Leader has stated, we are the guardians of devolution. We should not at any one time try to return back to the national Government the gains that we have already achieved from devolution at the county level. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I support the Committee’s amendment."
