    "content": "takes the centre stage. When that is the case, you cannot have a proper referendum to the Constitution. The issues then, although framed as constitutional amendments, become the testing of party strengths to see how they will fair in the next general elections. Therefore, I would appeal to the incoming Senate, that as soon as they are elected, when they are still fresh in mind and ideas, they should pursue the agenda of finalising the amendments to the Constitution so that we can have a proper Constitution that has been tested through the five years. In conclusion, - I am seeing the Senator of Nandi County, the governor to be - and those who will be elected as Members of the National Assembly, they will upgrade the National Assembly in the manner they debate on issues and the maturity that they do things. I appeal to those who will be governors, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’ Nyong’o and Sen. Sang--- Sen. (Prof.) Nyong’o, has been in the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee and therefore knows the weaknesses of the current system of governance in matters of accountability. Sen. Sang, has been in the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights that has been dealing with the same issues of governance. When you become governors, you should set a good example of how devolved units of government ought to be run. Besides that, you should be able to work hand in hand with the Senate to ensure that devolution is alive in letter and spirit. When I talk of constitution making within the first two years, I hope with your experience as Senators, when you will be governors, and part of the CoG, together with the Members of the County assemblies (MCAs) where some of us will go, you will be able to unite on that issue. You will finalise this matter of amendments to the Constitution. With those remarks, I wish everybody vying for political offices, good campaigns. Those who are retiring from politics, we shall continue to be friends whenever we go and continue to work together in many other fields. I second."
