    "content": "It is also important to mention that we have the devolved units, we are happy and we support them. But I think it is always important to say that devolution does not exist and it will not exist because we have the Senate. It is there because, for you to do anything on devolution, there must be a referendum. So, the persons who protect devolution are not Senators. That is a complete misinformation and a misplaced statement. Senate is a flower team that will remain for a while. Even when I join it, I will also be part of that flower team. What I want to say is this: Devolution is protected by the fact that if you want to bring any changes, you must get a referendum. What we have seen in the last six or seven years is that the effectiveness and the impact that NG-CDF has done cannot be measured against the county government performance. If that is the case that you are able to achieve more through NG-CDF than you can achieve through county, then it is only fair that we look for ways of increasing the allocation to NG-CDF so that we can fast track the development that need to be there. We also need to come up with ways of cutting duplication. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
