    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. The reading of Article 96(1) speaks to the role of Senate, which is to protect the interests of the counties and their governments. One of the ways that this House can protect the interests of county governments as envisaged in Article 96 of the Constitution is to ensure that counties receive enough resources in order to undertake the functions allocated to county governments in the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the entire objective of devolution was to ensure that resources go to our counties as opposed to the previous arrangement before devolution, where money collected was distributed in an unfair manner, using political considerations and so on. We need to begin this debate from that point."
