    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to congratulate fellow Senators. I will start by congratulating His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta for hosting us yesterday. We had a very good and fruitful meeting together with the Leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and my colleagues who attended that meeting. Through that meeting, we were able to procure Kshs50 billion and we brought it to the Senate. We were also able to break the stalemate that has been in this House. This stalemate started two years ago. Since that period, we have never had a situation where Senators are agreeing on the way forward. I want to congratulate all Senators, whether Team Kenya or Team Katiba. I understand the pain of losing. I recall the day Team Kenya put Murang’a among the losing counties in the so-called Sen. Linturi formula, I can tell you I felt it. I rarely speak in loud voices. However, when I felt it then I realised that no county should lose. That is when I started coming up with ideas of how we can increase money."
