It will be to the benefit of the people we represent if that board is established. It will create a forum where we can consult and co-ordinate development work. That is particularly so when the board will be chaired by a senator. That is very instructive because Members of Parliament both at the Senate and the National Assembly level are the people who are more in touch with the common mwananchi at the constituency and county levels. That is more than even the chief executives who are the governors. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ...

I have seen instances in Kiambu County - which is my county - where a road is done at the constituency or at the sub-county level by the Constituency Roads Committee.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because of time I support this Bill in its current version. I truly say that this is the best thing that will happen in the era of devolution.

Those counties will enjoy the true fruits of devolution.
