"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other grave issue is the cost of inflation of funds. You will find that there are projects in the county that are not complete and most of these projects are for national Government. People get contracts from the marginalised area, after getting the tender, they then say that this area is very insecure they cannot go there. Why did you agree to take that money? Was that money not insecure? No, that is marginalization. When a project is meant to be taken to Kibish, let it be taken to Kibish. God created this earth and said, ‘let there be sand,’ and there was sand. ‘Let there be moon,’ and there was the moon. This is what you are supposed to be in this Senate. When we say, ‘let the classroom be in Kibish,’ let the classroom be there. Let the road be in Mombasa or Malindi, let it be there. We have that power; the citizens have given us power to prioritize their needs. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate this money, because they say, just appreciate what God has given you, but in the reality, it is not enough. If it will reach the Third Reading, surely, I will ask our dignified Senators, to add Turkana County more money because we have gold. It will also give you paraffin and kerosene. Sen. M. Kajwang’, if you add us something, we will also consider you in future. I remember, the Bible says that when you deny me this opportunity on earth, you will also be denied that opportunity in Heaven during the day."
