    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the amendment that has been brought to the House by Sen. Kang’ata. I must start by saying that we find ourselves on the horns of a dilemma. We have to make decisions on the wrongs. We are not making a decision between a wrong and a right. We are making a decision between two wrongs. Before I accepted to second this Motion, I was convinced just like many other Members in this House that we needed further consultations to ensure that we do not end up with a divisive situation. However, the time has come when a decision has to be made. Decision making is part of the calling of leadership. I second this Motion on the basis of the principles of public finance that are laid out in Article 201 of the Constitution. Those principles of Article 201 talk about the stability and predictability of the public finance management process. Some of the formulas and simulations that have been brought to this House had the effects of disrupting the planning and budgeting processes of counties. Some of those simulations would have led to counties losing over Kshs1 billion over night yet the 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."
