    "content": "I will be very brief, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to join you and the Senate Majority Leader in welcoming the distinguished delegations of staff from various county assemblies around the Republic. I also want to note that as I have always said here, devolution is one very important thing that Kenyans achieved in the last change of the Constitution that we had in 2010. For devolution to succeed, it will take the county assemblies and the Senate working together. The county assemblies are our first line of defence when it comes to oversight of the funds that we send to our counties. Therefore, I want to encourage the collaboration that is there between the Senate and the county assemblies. I wish to encourage the county assemblies that have not yet sent their staff and members here for bench marking to do so. Vihiga County Assembly, in particular, has sent so many delegations both in the last Parliament and in this Parliament, and I am very proud of that fact. I want to join you in wishing them well and success in whatever they are doing in Nairobi and a comfortable stay. Thank you."
