    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you. I rise to support the Motion to adjourn because I agree with Sen. Orengo that these are very emotive issues that require us to internalize what it means by sharing revenue. Articles 217 and 203 in the Constitution are very clear. It is important that every Senator who sits here realizes that as the Senator of Narok County, I not only represent Narok County, but also the entire union. I always say that this is a House of union. The way I understand how this revenue formula is being formulated, is different from the way my colleagues understand. It is imperative that even us who have brought in these amendments - which is a right for every Senator to bring an amendment at this stage - we should reach out to our colleagues and explain the numbers. This is because it will be very difficult for us to sit here and pass a formula which will divide this country further. Madam Deputy Speaker, I support and thank Sen. Orengo for the wise leadership."
