    "content": "The President, in his Speech, also commented on devolution. He said that so far, Kshs1.7 trillion has been given to the counties. Our 2010 Constitution has been praised as one of the most progressive constitutions in the world. One of the notable things in the Constitution is devolution. In as much as money has been sent to our counties, Kshs1.7 trillion is still not enough. I would like the President to know that our counties still need more money. They do not just need more money but the money should be released at the right time. There should be timely release of funds because in areas where money has been managed properly, the lives our people have been turned around. Senators as well as MCAs should be empowered, in terms of oversight, to ensure that our people get value for their money because we know of counties where money has been mismanaged, embezzled or put to wrong use. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
