    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Motion to amend the Committee Report. I will be very brief to the point because the distinguished Senator for Nairobi County has completely demystified the myth. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why I support this amendment is because of one, it is illegal for a county like Turkana or Marsabit which is over 70,000 square kilometres to be reduced into a square root of 266. In that parameter alone, that county loses Kshs1.5 billion. It is evil. We must be our brother’s keepers. When I came into this House, I said I am proud to be in this House because this is the House of union. If we are the House of union, it will be wrong for one county to gain, yet the people of Turkana just on the land parameter alone, we will lose Kshs1.4 billion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second reason why I support the amendment by Sen. Sakaja is because of the way that the Committee played around in terms of the parameters we have."
