    "content": "Furthermore, I would like to advise some people who might think that we are young, that we have also taken time to go through the HANSARD reports of this House that do show how previous SBCs have operated in the past. There used to be a time in this country when a simple issue as the budget process of this country used to be dictated by State House. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the Senate Majority Whip will tell you that the technical teams in the National Treasury would come up with a budget without having an input from Parliament. Sen. Dullo who has just stepped out knows well that one of the reasons Isiolo County ranks as a marginalized county in this country is because State House - under Executive Order that forms Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 which came from State House - forced some counties in this country to be considered as non-performing counties without any input in our economy; to the extent that today Article 204 of our Constitution is dedicated to deal with issues of marginalization. It is important that as we start the business of this House Members of both sides understand that the independence of Parliament, and more so, the independence of the Senate that some of us are agitating for is extremely critical for the advancement of your own people just as it is for the people that you perceive are from the opposition side."
