    "content": "First, I would like to thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Senate Bill. Kirinyaga happens to neighbour my constituency. When there were demonstrations about the change of headquarters from Kerugoya to Kutus, I was affected. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mediation Committee for the decision they have taken on this. Devolution came about because of getting services nearer to the people. It is the wish of this House and also the Government to take services nearer to the people. We have seen quite a lot because of devolution. Although we have some hitches here and there, those are teething issues. I hope from 2017, things will have changed. We have seen a lot of development because of devolution. However, there are some areas which we need to check because when it comes to corruption, you hear that some counties are involved. Corruption cuts across both Jubilee and CORD. So, you cannot identify corruption with one coalition. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
