"content": "Lastly but not the least, I appreciate and laud the Clerk of the Senate and his team for making the appropriate preparation for this momentous occasion. Hon Senators, historically, the first Senate was established in 1963 and functioned until 1966 when it was dissolved and its Members joined the National Assembly. Close to five decades later, the second Senate was inaugurated in March, 2013 as established in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 primarily to oversee the implementation of the devolved system of governance. Devolution as an overall development model was meant to ensure balanced, equitable and just development in all regions of Kenya. I can submit without fear of contradiction that so far it is working, and I am talking as somebody who has come from there. I wish to welcome and associate myself with the positive spirit exhibited and pronouncements made by the new governors to change their strategy of engagement and work more closely with the Senate, the National Assembly and the national Government."
