    "content": "Let me finish my bit. I will keep it brief. From what we are saying, the fact that we need to caucus is very key. Probably, we would not have been in this situation if we had caucused more at different levels. As we adjourn, it is important for us to do so. The second thing that I want to speak about is the confusion about the formulas that are out there; the first basis formula, the second basis formula, moving to the third from the CRA and the other one from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. In their discussions, the media has picked this in the wrong way. They keep discussing the CRA formula, yet that is not what was on the table of the Senate. What was on the table was the recommendation by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. As we go out, I hope that we can address this as Senators of various counties. Under Article 96 of the Constitution, we stand as Senators taking care of the interests of all counties. Even when we look at the particular formula and what is happening with the various counties, we need to discuss this formula. As we continue to caucus, let us get a position where counties are able to manage. From the losses that counties are making, among them are Kwale, Mombasa and Garissa. Some of these counties will not be able to operate. As we move into the adjournment, let us keep this at the forefront of our minds, so that we can execute."
