    "content": "However, it is better for us to talk and achieve consensus rather than a situation where we create gainers and losers. The first sin of the simulation of the formulas is when it was reported that there are losers and gainers. In a free democratic country where everybody is equal before the law, we should not be talking about losers and gainers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, equity is about the dealing with needs of communities, individuals and of areas of the country which are almost impenetrable because they do not lay at the centre of the country. I take this move as a positive development. I urge the House to meet this week if possible and report back on Tuesday, next week. I say that because the consideration of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill under Standing Order 182 is time bound. The matter that is before the House is also time bound. I, therefore, urge leadership to do consultations in such a way that we come back here next week on Tuesday to consider this issue. I hope that when we come back here, we shall be unanimous one way or the other."
