    "content": "the Senator for Nairobi City County. In the previous proposal of the Committee, my county was going to gain Kshs100 million, which is 0.6 per cent of our allocation. An amount of Kshs100 million here is not the same as Kshs100 million in Garissa, Turkana, Wajir or Tharaka-Nithi. What would it benefit the people of Nairobi - and many of the 4.3 million people that I represent also come from other counties - to gain 0.6 per cent and have our colleagues lose 25 per cent or 30 per cent of their budget? It will not be right and patriotic. Devolution is about this country. The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), and I speak about this because I know where the heart of the President and that of the Former Prime Minister is, we cannot have cohesion without equalization of opportunities. A child in Mandera must have the same shot at life as the child in Makueni. There is no Kenya ‘A’ and Kenya ‘B.’ The notion that we have been having over the past few weeks that there are certain part of the country that have been giving to other parts of the country, is a fallacy and I will demonstrate it. We all belong to this country; one indivisible nation."
