    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to reply. I thank all my colleagues for the support that they have shown for this very important Bill. We have noted their comments, especially on the unfairness of the formula that was developed by CRA. The only thing we can assure them is that now, the ball is in our court. A few years from now, they will be coming before us, for us to approve a new version of that formula, and at that time, we will all bring your views on board. However, I want to agree on one thing, if we are going to extend the benefits beyond the 14 deserving counties then let everybody get it because; there is nobody who does not have pockets of poverty, including the great County of Nairobi City and the great Kiambu County. In Kakamega, people in Maraba Ward are waiting for this money. They will be very grateful. We have the people of Eregi, on the ridges of Eregi. We have people in Ikolomani; the ridges of Ikukhu, Idakho East who are waiting for this money. So, should the formula have to change, we will have to set a higher standard with those remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply and beg that under Standing Order No.63(3), you allow the putting of the question to be deferred to a later date."
