    "content": "Mr. Speaker, I encourage my Chairman not to be a near do- good. Otherwise, he will set a very bad example that he nearly does the right thing every now and then especially in this season. You know, yesterday he gave a very good promise before this House and we respected him for that. That we have take this position because we firmly believe that this is an assault on our pivotal place as Senate. That if we are taken out of this budget making process, or we allow people outside this Chamber to determine for us that we can consider certain matters, then those of us that are pleading with electorate to allow us to come back to this, we will be coming back to a skeleton. Therefore, I plead with my colleagues especially those whose hearts are still here beyond August in spirit. My good neighbor and friend Sen. Rose Nyamunga, I plead with you. Do not allow those who have left this House in spirit already, and are only here in body to mislead us. It will be very unfair because we had a deal and a deal is a deal. The deal was to pass Second Reading and then consider the Counties Grants Bill, bring a Committee Mediation Report; we will pass The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.8 of 2022). The explanation by the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo makes perfect sense. The only question I have for him is why can they not wait, the same way they are asking us? They can also wait. Once the mediation report is brought before this House, I can assure you, nobody will raise a single question to that Bill. We will pass it in a record time. I plead with you that for the sake of your colleagues, whom you are leaving behind in this House as you go to do good service to the people of Siaya, allow us to hold. Tomorrow, the Mediation Committee on the County Governments Grants Bill, will happen. When we will are given the green light that they have agreed, we will come and receive the report here. By 3.45 p.m. at the very latest, we would have passed the Division of Revenue Bill."
