    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, as a statement of fact and responsibility of facts, you have given Sen. Oketch Gicheru a theatre to mislead everybody. We understand economics. It is not that we do not understand economics when he sees us keeping quiet. We understand economics. He cannot mislead the Republic. The Kenya Gazette shows that counties have been given Kshs385 billion, yet he is telling this country that the money has been cut down to Kshs350 billion. Where does he get all those facts? In this House, one must give facts and evidence. We are aware of inflation and all those issues that he is talking about. In fact, I have seen the latest audited accounts to be 23 per cent, up from 15 per cent. The fact remains that there is evidence and the law has been signed into place that Kshs385 billion will go to counties. I know Sen. Oketch Gicheru and his group of Minority. Anyway, it is understandable that they want to hold onto any straw because they are drowning. They want to just have political expediency and capital. Madam Temporary Speaker, Kshs385 billion will go to counties and that is a fact. Unless one can contravene from anywhere, let it remain that way. We do not need a lecture of economics class to mislead the entire public."
