"content": "If we lose the war in terms of this very important legislation by saying that in future things will still happen the same way, then we can as well say goodbye to devolution. The most important outcome of the Constitution that we had in 2010 was devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Americans like to pride themselves that when they enacted their Constitution in 1787, what they got, and what Benjamin Franklin talked about was the fact that they had a republic. In Kenya, we can be proud that the outcome of the promulgation of the Constitution in 2010 was devolution. If the Senate cannot play a role in the process of division of revenue between the two levels of government before appropriation, then I think even the devolution that was proclaimed in 2010 is gone."
