    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank my Leader of the Minority Party for bringing this Motion. Hon. Owen Baya, this is a very important Motion. It is true that some Kenyans are going to sleep on empty stomachs. Some students will go to school tomorrow without anything in their stomachs. This is a very important Motion to debate. First, when you have a problem, talk less and do more. That is very important. Also listen. We are currently offering some solutions. We had Kazi Mtaani, which used to take money to youths in rural areas. Reinstate that programme. It is better than hiring people who do not need employment such as the 50 CASs. Take that money to mashinani . It is in the Constitution that we give county governments 15 per cent of the revenue share. Why can we not give them immediately we collect our taxes because that is where hunger bites the people? Some have not even received their money since October last year. It is such money that cascades down to kiosks through salaries and contracts. If money is disubursed to counties, it will save the people. Let us not wait until we think we have the money. The Constitution is very clear: if you collect taxes, 15 per cent should go straight to the county governments."
