"content": "is the custodian of the interests of counties and their governments. Allow me to thank you because I will not be here for the final two sittings. I will be out there ‘ nasaring’ votes for my coalition. You have been a very able Speaker. We have rubbed each other the wrong way some times, but I also know if you are given an opportunity to air your views on this Bill, you do not believe in it. Woe unto this House if we joined the bandwagon of conspirators against devolution to frustrate resources going to counties. I have travelled around the country and seen some counties that have done a good job. I have been to Wajir County and the governor there has done an exemplary job. I have been to Kajiado County and the governor stands out. It is interesting to know that he is an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) governor while the entire County Assembly of Kajiado has only one ODM Member of the County Assembly (MCA). This governor has been working with Jubilee MCAs. He has not been corrupt like the case of the wheelbarrows that we know of. He has been a diligent governor. If you visit Kajiado County you will see distinct marks of devolution. There are a few other governors who are doing the same. Like my brother, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, said, there are some bad apples among governors, but we will not kill a good idea because those who are executing it are corrupt and unaccountable. I salute people like my Brother, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o and my distinguished deputy party leader, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who have found it necessary to go and correct the mess that is in the counties, by surrendering their positions as Senators. I know that they and a few others like Sen. Musila and Sen. Sang, would have been elected unopposed as Senators. I send my political condolences to my brother from Nyangores for what they did to him."
