    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to join you as well in welcoming this delegation from Uasin Gishu County. In this second round of devolution, we have a lot of experience in terms of what happened last time. I hope that in the county assemblies, we have taken cognizance of some of the factors that were issues within the county assemblies. One of these, specifically, is the issue of the wage bill and aligning human resource capacity in terms of the expectations and the outputs from the specific counties. I am sure, together with the Uasin Gishu delegation and other delegations, that this is an aspect that we need to streamline, so that the resources in the counties go into outputs that will be directly deliverables, especially in aiding the counties to enhance development. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the first term under devolution, a lot of money went into recurrent budget. Many counties indicated that the development component had not been taken into consideration. I hope we can change this human resource aspect and do that specifically. I also hope that this delegation will have fruitful engagements that will help them grow as a county. When they go back, they should take our regards from us, the Senate of Kenya. Thank you."
