    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want the conscience of all of us to us in our sleep and in our waking for the decisions that we take on the Floor of this House. I am happy and will not tire to remind you that, in fact, there is a second limb to the facts alluded to here. Our own Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, on the advice of the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) proposed to this House that instead of the Kshs385 billion given by the National Assembly, we, as the Senate, should go with the figure of Kshs407 billion. That is also a fact. That question of Kshs407 billion or Kshs385 billion was put to us, as Senators, in the House and as individual Senators elected to get every single coin we can for our counties. It is factual that 22 of my colleagues, whose conscience you can see is snowing at them, voted against Kshs407 billion. Let their conscience eat them until the day they die. You will not run away from a vote that you took. Nobody forced you to vote in that particular manner."
