    "content": "One of the things that of course should be done by the next Senate is to ensure that we have the Own Source Revenue Bill. It has not seen the light of the day. That Bill is paramount. It was discussed at the Intergovernmental Relations Committee and also went to the Council of Governors (CoG). However, it has not been passed, so that there are very strict measures about how that is done. We have had that conversation in all the devolution conferences and the legislative summits that we have had. Finally, on this Schedule, I do not know whether it should be released 54 days to the general elections, and whether these moneys will find their way to campaign kitties. If it is done today, will there be Exchequer release? We need to be careful because going forward we must also protect that whoever is going to take over the county governments will also find something in the coffers. We remember very well in the year 2002 when the late H.E. President Mwai Kibaki took over power, there was nothing in the National Treasury. I also want to state that when the Kenya Kwanza Alliance takes over power, on 9th August, 2022 - I can see I have a lot of support from Sen. Faki from Mombasa County - we shall find the granary at the National Treasury full of resources to implement the bottom-up economic model. Madam Temporary Speaker I, support."
