    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, these kinds of wild statements, these kinds of sensational statements are shameless and uncalled for. In fact, I would have thought the CoG would sit together and say we are an endangered species, what do we do in order to survive? This is because at this rate they are likely not to survive. Just on the newspaper alone, there are eight of them and I do not see a single Senator. Whenever you see a Senator on the first page, it is on something else which is political. This is a statement that should not have come from the governors at all. Madam Deputy Speaker, finally, I would want to say this on this issue which is very important as far as I am concerned. I have got a lot of respect for many governors. Many of them are my friends. For those who attended the burial of the late Governor Laboso, in the middle of the contention of how much money should go to counties; it was the Chairperson of the CoG who is my party leader, who said Kshs316 billion is enough. He evene asked what we were complaining about. It was them at a meeting with the Executive who said that Kshs316 billion was enough when we were struggling to make sure that we get what the counties deserve and they refused. In fact, if governors knew their work in the county, they should have supported the Senate to the hilt. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
