    "content": " Allow me. It is important. As we speak, the Deputy Governor of West Pokot has been drawing salary while working abroad. The Senate should focus on such issues. The elephant in the room is this: Kenya is defined by two things: land and population. People say they want to define Kenya by population. How would you live without land? So, there is no way you can delink land and population. In fact, the definition of a country is land and population. So, we must balance the two. This House needs to have a spatial distribution of the billions of money remaining at the national Government. Why can we not ask ourselves that question? Everybody participates in the paying of the national debt; whether you are in Garissa or in Kiambu. So, the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in future, should tell us the allocation of projects under development expenditure per county from the national Government kitty."
