    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this great opportunity to support the Presidential Address by Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta on the state of the nation. I was impressed by the statesman Address that our President gave to this House and the nation at large. The Presidential Address captured our national challenges, aspirations and also went further to specify tangible solutions that we need to implement in this great nation. The Speech was very holistic in the sense that it captured every corner of our great nation. My own great people of Marsabit County were delighted when the President mentioned places such as Turbi, Moyale and Marsabit when he spoke in relation to the infrastructural development that the Government has undertaken in the last four-and-a-half years of his administration. I just want to highlight two issues, that is, devolution as well as infrastructure transformation that has been done by this Government in the last four-and-a-half years. Devolution is the hallmark of our new constitutional order. The support by this administration for devolution is incredible. This administration increased the percentage of shareable revenue from 15 per cent, which is the threshold provided for in the Constitution, to 34 per cent. There are a lot of resources that have been devolved to develop all the counties in our nation."
