    "content": "Today in the morning, the President of the Republic of Kenya, Dr. William Ruto, assented to the DORB into law. Sen. Mwaruma and I have the benefit of having served in this House together. This is very cheap politics that our brothers from the Minority side are trying to sell to the public. In the last Financial Year of 2022/2023, we appropriated Kshs370 billion on the same Floor of this House. In the next Financial Year of 2023/2024, which we are starting the next month, the allocation to counties has increased by Kshs.15.3 billion to Kshs385 billion. Is it in order for my brother, the Senator for Taita-Taveta County, to mislead this House and the country for political convenience and capital, that money meant for counties has been cut? Mind you, this is 24 per cent of the latest audited accounts. The Constitution says ‘at least 15 per cent.’ Those statements he is making on the Floor of the House are good for political rallies and other forums, but not the Floor of the House. There is an increase of Kshs15 billion. Madam Temporary Speaker, is it in order for him to mislead the House that we have slashed monies going to counties, yet we have increased by Kshs15 billion?"
