We should have agreed with the National Assembly; there was no need for a mediation committee. I know they can argue that they added Kshs8 billion. A sum of Kshs8 billion is a small drop in an ocean of problems that we are facing in counties. How can we talk about the cost of transfer functions when they do not have resources? I want when I question my governor about performance; I do so with a lot of confidence, because I am aware we have given them enough resources. So, the mediation Committee from the Senate must give us a proper explanation as a House why they came down from Kshs415 billion to Kshs401 billion. I remember Sen. Mumma was excited about the names that you are proposing. I do not want to go beyond that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, I want to thank you. I saw you over the weekend supporting one of the young writers--- Can you please, add me 30 seconds?"}
