    "content": "have a budget of Kshs2.1 trillion and the counties will receive Kshs370 billion. That is a good indicator that we have not gone below what we were getting the last financial year. I commend the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the National Treasury who work to ensure that we collect revenue. I thank them for looking at what is in the best interest of the country. We have talked about the challenges. We spoke about the fact people have to be creative in order to survive. We have also talked about the difficulty of life and the cost of living today. As Sen. Sakaja has said, we have a challenge of people living especially in the cities. For those of us who come from the rural areas, we can express even worse fears not only in crop farming, but also in the livestock sector. The problems anticipated because of the lack of rains have exacerbated the situation. I do not want to revisit what Members have said, but to thank everyone. It is an important Bill and I do not want to overemphasize that it is part of our constitutional duty especially for the Senate. With those remarks, I hope we will expedite the passing of this Bill. I request that you defer putting of the question to a later date, pursuant to Standing Order No.61 (3). I beg to reply."
