    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, we were able to put across various views. What was even better is that we were all looking for options. These options ought to help us in the counties to ensure that as we go on with the revenue allocation in the counties, it is done fairly. Article 96 of the Constitution gives this Senate a clear mandate; which is to represent counties and their interests. The interests are for all the counties and not just one county. Various Articles have been quoted. I just want to cite Article 203 on the importance of ensuring that through this revenue formula, we have economic disparities within and among counties reduced and the need for affirmative action. This will ensure that the disadvantaged groups and areas are taken into account. Madam Deputy Speaker, we should continue what we had started this morning. We should walk together. With each amendment that is coming, we are getting closer to finding a solution. I believe we will find that solution. Therefore, I support the Motion to defer the discussion of this Motion and proceed later on. I thank you."
