    "content": "the delivery of services by county governments as a means to an end, but also as a means of promoting the principles of devolution as set out in Article 175(b) of the Constitution. Madam Deputy Speaker, I raise this Statement because of the misunderstanding and also just to disabuse the accusations targeting this Senate. I know the Senate Minority Leader will add his voice to this as soon as I conclude. It is clear that we have a duty in determining the formula and passing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. However, at this moment, it is difficult for the Senate not to come out in this manner. We had to do this because governors are now accusing the Senate. They are saying that services will grind to a halt. Everybody knows that the Constitution protects that. It cannot happen and we should not allow it to happen. Madam Deputy Speaker, I now ask my colleague the Senate Minority Leader to add his voice. I thank you."
