I would wish all of us tone down and speak of a united country. Today, there is this feeling and a picture being painted, which I want to deny and demonstrate on the Floor of this House that it is not true. Look at this formula today, the money going to the so-called “Mt. Kenya region” is not a lot. In fact, most of it is being reduced from other counties going to North Rift, Western and Nyanza regions. Very little is going to Mt. Kenya region. Nyeri County, for example, where I come from, is getting less than Kshs300 million. Therefore, the notion that this is being done by a certain clique of people is not right. It should not be propelled by leaders who believe in the national unity of this country."}
