    "content": "To be fair to Kenyans, please, answer this question. In the last financial year, Kshs370 billion went to counties. Today, the President has assented to Ksh385.3 billion. It means that an additional Kshs15 billion has been added to counties. We rejected, as a House, the Report that brought Kshs407 billion. The facts are stubborn as he has said. This is because in the last financial year, we gave counties Kshs370 billion. There is an increment of Kshs15.3 billion. It is now Kshs385 billion. Therefore, my brother, Sen. Mwaruma, whom I have tremendous respect for, should just be honest and tell the House that there was an increment of Kshs15.3 billion, although him and others wanted Kshs407 billion. As leaders, we must behave and talk with integrity. If you say money meant for counties has been reduced; it is from what level? Is it from Kshs370 billion? Does adding Kshs15 billion mean it has been cut, not unless the English language has changed?"
