My brother cannot be a newborn yet I am a father of a six-year-old. He gets a child every day. The most outstanding point that I wanted to inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is that in referring to crooks, in his submission, he meant governors who inflate their own-source revenue for them to beat the requirement. They simply want to say that they have improved their own-source from Kshs300 million to Kshs700 million yet in essence, their potential is not Kshs700 million, but more than Kshs1 billion. Those governors are always rewarded yet they have not done well. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I stand here to support the amendments by the Senator of Nyamira County. The amendments proposed by the Senator of Nyamira County is a product of negotiations. It is not his own amendments. It is as a result of negotiations. We sat down with the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget and talked to a number of Senators, including the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. We came here because we thought that there was some white smoke coming out. Madam Temporary Speaker, we now have four formulas. We have the formula proposed by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), the initial formula that was proposed by the Committee on Finance and Budget, and an amended formula by the Committee on Finance and Budget. That amended formula proposed that the formula be amended, so that the 11 counties share an additional Kshs2 billion. Now, we have Sen. Omogeni's amendment, which is proposing that instead of the Kshs2 billion that the Committee on Finance and Budget is proposing, we increase it to Kshs4.5 billion. All the Members who have stood here have not categorically opposed the amendment by Sen. Omogeni. They have asked us to justify these amendments. I will justify by saying this. I happen to have contributed to the initial Motion on this matter, where I clearly indicated that the formula proposed by CRA seemed to have favoured the so-called smaller counties in a fundamental way. I said that Elgeyo Marakwet County was gaining Kshs150 million under the CRA. Isiolo County was gaining Kshs900 million under the CRA and Lamu County was gaining about Kshs400 million under the CRA compared to what the Committee had proposed. Madam Temporary Speaker, Laikipia County was gaining about Kshs210 million by the CRA; Nyamira County was gaining about Kshs90 million by the CRA; Taita Taveta County was gaining Kshs240 million by the CRA; Tharaka Nithi County was gaining Kshs270 million by the CRA; Vihiga County was gaining Kshs360 million by the CRA and Samburu County was gaining about Kshs300 million by the CRA. So, if the CRA was giving us more money and our Standing Committee on Finance and Budget is giving us less money, we needed a balance to get somewhere in the middle."
