    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I support the amendments by Sen. Kang’ata. The amendments come in to show that he is flexible. A true leader needs to be flexible, but not rigid. Can I be heard? Am I on record? The amendments by Sen. Kang’ata show that he is accommodating. According to these amendments, no county should lose. As the Senate, we have to ensure that no county loses in any way. Most counties have already made their budgets and they have expectations. All of a sudden, if a county gets less money, the county will be confused. There is need to ensure that no county loses. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a moment to think about the yonder years, so that if there are amendments to be done on the budget, they should be well-thought out. However, this is also a learning process for all of us. Therefore, I support that the status quo remains and our counties get their share. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to have a conversation so that more money is allocated to counties. In future, no county should lose money. We must strive to have a win-win situation because it is our mandate to protect the interest of counties and their governments. Therefore, I support Sen. Kang’ata’s amendments because all 47 counties need development."
