    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to join you and the Members of this House in welcoming the delegation from Nandi. I am excited that the MCAs, who are Members of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources in the county assembly found it fit, in their wisdom, to come to the Senate to meet the counterpart Committee in this House, a Committee that has a lot of interest in ensuring that the natural resources and land in this country are properly managed. I am aware that Nandi County has a lot of challenges with regard to environmental issues and historical land injustices. The position and mandate of this committee from the county assembly is important in resolving a number of those things. It is commendable that they found wisdom to come and consult with the Senate Committee. All other committees in the County Assembly of Nandi and all the other counties must emulate them. However, I want to ask them to continue the fight of ensuring that devolution works not only in Nandi, but also in the entire country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is of interest to all of us to note that almost all the 47 counties have already disbursed bursaries to children. However, the County Assembly of Nandi and I are aware that the County Government of Nandi has not disbursed bursaries. I urge them, through this Floor, to work hard and ensure that they push the county government to release every coin of the Nandi people’s resources that have been allocated for bursaries, health and roads. The responsibility of this committee and the County Assembly of Nandi is to ensure that devolution works in Nandi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I wish to join my colleagues in urging them to learn the best practices from this House."
