    "content": "Murkomen alluded to the fact that people receive different calls at different times. That is why we have Senators who have expressed interest. They have said they feel better prepared to serve in the county governments as governors and not as senators as was the case in the previous elections. My only request, as a Senator who still feels that my call and duty remains to be in this is House, is that they should not go and be an embarrassment and start being part of some of the things we have been seeing lately. I can see one of them seated here. I want to tell them that we will be even harsher on them. When we will be going through some of the petitions that will come, they will not have the chance to tell us that they did not know these things because they will have served in this House. They should remember that they used to legislate and speak very harshly when county governments let down the dream of devolution. To add on a political note, for those who might get the call next time, you will set a very bad precedent whereby it will be known that when people move from this House to go and occupy office space, for example, at Delta House which is to mean that they have succeeded in becoming governors--- I urge them to go and set a very good example. Some of the functions that were supposed to be transferred to counties such as agriculture have not been fully implemented. I do not know of a county that has the capacity to take up a particular role that was performed by the national Government. Are county governments thinking of alternative solutions? What is it that they can do by, for example, putting up a building that will be properly used within a certain county without causing the taxpayers of that county a lot of money unnecessarily but still offer economic value? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. I thank you."
