    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I join my colleagues in congratulating both you and your deputy today, although I can do that at another moment. Part of the reason why we changed the Constitution or some of us fought hard to change the Constitution of this Republic was to achieve devolution. Those of us who will remember when we were at Bomas of Kenya changing the Constitution, the chief interest was devolution. Those of us who were in the National Assembly before will remember that our biggest problem was getting money to the grassroots to Wanjiku . Today, I am saddened by the fact that some of my colleagues who were with me in the streets to fight for the change of the Constitution are today missing in this House when we are passing a very important Motion to send money down to Wanjiku . Since I do not want to repeat what has been said by my colleagues, may I remind the House that I was with most of the gentlemen across there. Sen. Mwaura and others joined us later when we were fighting for change of the Constitution and when we were in the opposition. The thinking of fellows in opposition who sit across there is that they want to come to this side. However, I am saddened by the fact that the leadership of the National Super Alliance (NASA) today has chosen to take this country in circles and playing useless juvenile shenanigans out there instead of coming to the House and pass important pieces of legislation like this Motion. I have seen the light is on, may I support."
