    "content": "Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, on devolution, the President told us that from April 2013, more than Kshs1.7 trillion had been sent to the counties. We are not happy as the Senate, because a lot of this money is plundered in the counties. We are over sighting on this, but we would want to get more support, especially from the President on the mandate of the Senate. If only our President can stop signing Bills that come from the National Assembly that have a bearing on devolution and the Senate mandate, then we will sort out the sibling rivalry between us and the National Assembly. I want to assure the President that we, as the Senate, support devolution and we are the protectors of devolution. However, we are asking him not sign Bills that have not passed through the Senate when they are supposed to have passed through it. That way, our mandate will be protected and we will support him on devolution, as the Senators."
