    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a lot of respect for the distinguished Senator, Commissioner, Sen. Omogeni. However, is he in order to suggest that an independent commission which is set out by the Constitution of Kenya, given all the tools, the resources to traverse the entire country did not come up with the right formula? He is now lying to the people of Kenya that Kericho is not developed? That another county is not developed, seriously? Earlier on, the Speaker had requested the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County to substantiate and he did. It is about time that we respected independent institutions. The distinguished Senator should substantiate what he is saying or demonstrate to this House that he has the tools and the resources that the CRA has to determine how people are marginalised in this country. Every time we keep on making statements and saying that this Commission is coming up with a formula that is informed. For us to be proper leaders, the Senator ought to provide alternative information, so that we can then compare apples to apples. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, for him to stand here to say that the CRA does not have the necessary tools and resources, then what is the point of having that Commission in the first place? Let him substantiate that."
