    "content": "I can go through these figures to point more counties that were going to lose money. Machakos County is one of the growth centres in this country. A lot of the development that is taking place in this Republic is in Machakos County. As you drive on Mombasa Road, you enter Machakos County before you even get to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Although Machakos County was not going to lose, it was going to get a minimal increase which does not reflect the growth that is taking place in Machakos County. However, the Senator for Machakos does not support this formula because of what Kitui and Makueni counties are losing. Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka said that he will die with his brothers. It is a shame that the Governor of Machakos County had the audacity to say that the Senator for Machakos County has given away more than Kshs1 billion which he is using as a campaign strategy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that I am proud of Sen. Murkomen because he has stood up to be counted. Although Elgeyo-Marakwet County was going to gain in this formula, he decided not to support the proposed formula. My county, Siaya County was going to gain in the proposed formula, but I am not going to support the proposed formula because Kenya is one nation. The preamble of the Constitution of Kenya says that we are one indivisible nation. What we are trying to do here is dividing Kenya into counties and tribes. The other days, somebody gave me a breakdown of the tribes that are gaining and those that are losing. 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."
