    "content": "of peace in their counties. For the protection aspect of the locals, they need arms and well trained security personnel. They cannot enforce peace when they have not been given authority to train personnel on the use of arms to avoid misuse of arms. As much as we go through some difficulties in implementing devolution, we are proud that devolution came during our time. We will live to remember it and it is a story we will pass to generations to come because devolution has done a lot. Finally, the issue of having a House Committee to oversee devolution is a good idea. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know very soon, God willing, you may be the Governor of Bomet County because you are an aspirant. It is very heartbreaking to be overseen by somebody who aspires to be a governor. It is difficult because you cannot be fair to that particular person and that is the problem we have between the governors and Senators. Many Senators want to become governors and because of that, sometimes they try to use their authority or positions to fix some governors, so that they can look bad in the face of the public. The National Assembly should be fair and judge well although some Members are interested in becoming governors in future. We should be fair than the Senators because they want to completely destroy the governors. I support that we need to have an oversight House Committee to check this work. It should not just condemn but should give some advice and directions so that devolution is run well. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
