    "content": "Thank you so much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to today’s wins. Let me call them the Senate wins. A hundred per cent consensus is, indeed, a wonderful thing for this country and for us, as the Senate. We can now hold our heads high and say that we have done our constitutional duty by giving Kenyans what it is they are always asking for. Let me thank the mediation team, Team Kenya, and everybody. I do not want to keep on repeating. Four minutes is a very short time. From the beginning, I wanted this Senate to go back to that basis of the formula which I believe was the problem in the first place when it was presented to the Committee on Finance and Budget. There are some parameters there that I believe we needed to look back and ask: How did they come up with this?” For instance, how is it that the agriculture parameter is still based on households and population? I have a bit of a problem with that because Kenyans want a Kenya of freedom. Kenyans want to be free to express themselves freely. I believe today we have given that freedom, but it still means we need to look into these formulas as we go ahead."
