    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will wrap up my thoughts. I was speaking to the paradox and the irony that is in this Constitution (Amendment) Bill; in that Clause 3 speaks about a shared prosperity for this nation yet if you move downwards to Clause 50, it returns us back to the Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965, where back then it was allowed for people to imagine that you can pay more premium on people but consider nothing in terms of the vast lands that this country has. Back then in 1965, that was allowed but not any more. Think about even a simple project, for example, the Lake Turkana Wind Power in Marsabit County. It generates billions of shillings for this country; more than some of these counties that are filled with people but the only thing they give to Kenya is potatoes. So, we have now brought this attitude of disparaging and looking down on counties that are least populated and we want to put it as a constitutional principle. I pointed out before we took a break that even the tabulation of this proposal is not possible. If you run it on an excel sheet, it gives you something called the circular reference error. It turns out to zero because the more you reduce from certain counties to others, that balance will never be achieved."
