    "content": "Are we thinking of that? Everybody who talks here and are from the devolved regions have everything. They have the roads, health facilities and water. Where I come from, there is no water, roads and health services yet I am still being told we are getting more money. What monies? Mr. Speaker, Sir, when there is oil in Turkana County, people run to that place and say: “Bring that oil here to the central Government”. However, when it comes to revenue sharing, you do not need to give Turkana County anything. When you talk of the wind generation in Marsabit, it is brought up to Suswa. The people of Garsen do not benefit. However, when it comes to resources, we are told we do not deserve anything. When we get oil in Wajir County, it will be the same thing. If the coal in Kitui County was used, it is the same thing. What is this thing about the centre and these ones who always have it? We will not accept that. This is not right, fair and not acceptable. We cannot be pushed to the periphery every time. What is Kshs316 billion? It is nothing when you get billions and trillions from the national Government and you still talk about these areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these two years are nothing, it is a waste of time. As the Senator for Makueni County said, if you want to kill us, the knife is there. Do it and stop talking politics here. Stop talking about this or that. We have had enough and we are tired!"
