the National Assembly is supposed to be very inward looking... there is no such thing as a national assembly member who represents a county except the women's rep for numerical reasons. any member of parliament is supposed to PRIMARILY LOOK AFTER NUMBER 1! their constituents!! not sijui Coal in Garissa and you are from Bahati... you are supposed to beat to the drum of your employers... That is why I like that gatundu MP Moses Kuria... LOOK AFTER NO.1!!! kila MP akifanya hivyo things will go well. you must always have an eye on your constituency.. hiyo budget inapitishwa... inahusu watu wangu vipi? kama haiwahusu - could I be bought to vote a certain way so that the guys I scratch their backs now will scratch my back when my issue comes for discussion? Kama wamekataa abscond!! vuta pande yako!! What we have is a bunch of people who fail to do what they were employed to do because they want to do everything![/quote]

Senate's biggest role is the Division of Revenue Bill
That can be done by a committee of National Assembly.
1 member to represent each county.
Why would the Homa Bay senator be interested in coal in Garissa while the Ndhiwa MP is not?

i was talking about the national assembly having NO BUSINESS in the county!! no business at all!! They were not voted in by the county - why should they have a role in the division of revenue bill? They should be inward and limit their interests to the interests of their constituents. [/quote]
Because they'll be in Devolution Sub Committee
The work of legislature is legislation, budget and oversight
We have committees for very many things. Having one for devolution ni gitu gitogo
