For instance, he must understand that the Mediation Committee went to talk about the money that was being added to counties, both the CoGs and the National Assembly were stuck in a figure of Kshs391 billion. That meant that in this financial year, the counties could only have been added about Kshs6 billion. That was a hard figure that people were not able to move. However, the team from the Senate, where a Member like me, Sen. Eddy Okech, sits, were able to go and argue for Kshs400 billion which increased Kshs9 billion above what the National Assembly had put. Sen. Cherarkey must also know that of the Kshs30 billion that we were proposing, which we passed in this House, four of those items were non-discretionary items. This means that they were items that are fixed and cannot be moved in any way. However, the bigger chunk; the Kshs30 billion that we are proposing---."
