(Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the Senator informs me, I have not said – for the sake of the record – that the Government or anybody is reconsidering the devolution of functions.

What we know and what we have been informed by the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning is that the President expressed his intention and readiness to devolve these functions, even all of them, when and if directed by request from counties ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: I think again my colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, is mixing up issues particularly when it comes to whether or not we can table here a statement that does not exist. If he accepts--- view
