    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, on strategizing to keep this Motion going, I must give credit to the young Members who have brought this Motion of Adjournment. It is good to know what a week in time can do. Last week, same time as this, Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wetangula proposed a Motion of Adjournment, but it was negated. I must congratulate Sen. Murkomen for changing his mind and joining this side. What we have done today is to leave everything as is which means that we will be required to come back and proceed from where we left things. Therefore, on the day that we shall appoint, we shall resume debate on the Motion as it is. We shall consider the amendments on the Order Paper and make a decision. These consultations are, therefore, around the same things. If we postpone and extend the time to discuss, there must be an orderly way of arriving at a conclusion. I am not so sure that the whole House needs to meet at once. I suggest that we meet in small groups before proceeding to the entire House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, after all is said and done, we need things sorted out by starting afresh. We are simply buying time. Buying time depends on your negotiation skills and the will of the people. The House has spoken. Members want to put this matter back on the Order Paper. The leadership and the Members of this House have been asked to reconsider this matter which we have done for so long that we know it like the back of our hands. We know the issues and exactly what we want, but we never seem to agree. With the short time given to us, I hope that we will not come here to ask Kenyans for another postponement. We have had so many similar moments and that is why we wanted to move ahead today and deal with the matters as they are. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the House is supreme, we have agreed to come back another time. We will still be the same people, but I hope that we will allow all the 47 counties to be considered for what their dues are. I hope that we shall stop the bleeding and allow growth in the counties that are not growing. I am really hopeful that we shall reach a consensus on those issues."
