    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This week we have been talking about devolution being under attack. A story is told of an army that was continuously losing the battle. When they looked, they told themselves: “We are the problem”. In this case, the people that are supposed to be championing for devolution are the problem. If devolution dies today, it is because our governors have killed it. Let us forget apportioning blame somewhere else, both in terms of sub-optimal use of our resources and also avoiding accountability. I would like to tell the people of Ukambani: Your governors did not snub the Senate, they snubbed you. We were not doing this for ourselves, but for the people of Ukambani and the people of this country. By snubbing the Senate, what they did in essence is snub their own people. Therefore, they should take note they were snubbed by avoiding accountability. I rest my case, but it is very disappointing to think that if devolution dies, it is because the people that are supposed to defend it have chosen to kill it."
