    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Member of the Senate Business Committee (SBC), we had agreed that we will suspend the deliberations and then go out there and have a Kamukunji, so that the Committee of 12 and the leadership can report to the House on the way forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request that we take this matter seriously because outside there, we are being hit hard; that the Senate is pussy-footing; the Senate is indecisive and is not giving Kenyans what they want. Arising from what we agreed on in the SBC, right now, I request with all humility that we suspend any other business and go out for a Kamukunji, so that we can brief the rest of the Members on the final changes that we agreed on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, our names are circulating. There is a page that is circulating with signatures, that we agreed to send money to counties. Therefore, I do not see the reason we should proceed with any other business. I mean look at the House! There are small kamukunji meetings outside. Can we then now go out and discuss this the way forward, so that we can send money to counties. I am tired of being hit hard by Kenyans out there; who are being lied to that the Senate is the one which is indecisive. The Senate has made a decision and let us live with it now. We go there. Twelve non-partisan Members have appended their signatures, so that we can send money to the counties. I would like to request with all humility that we stop any other business in this House today. Let u go out there and give Kenyans the way forward."
