    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Kulingana na lile swali limeulizwa na eleza hii Seneti ya kwamba kama ni pesa inafanya tumuunge mkono gavana, basi tungekaa na wale wanaompinga. Hii ni kwa sababu County Assembly ya Meru ndio ina uwezo wa kupea MCAs money. As I have said, since February, we have not received even a single cent from that Assembly as a consequence of supporting the Governor. Therefore, it is unfortunate that we could be told that it is money that has led us to support the Governor. I believe that as a peace loving Senate and a people, we should strive to preach more peace, so that we bring the Executive Arms of Government and the County Assembly together regardless of what has happened in the past. Not mentioning that you can only support the Governor because of money inducements. According to the CFSP that I have stated, that is true.The CFSP was approved by the MCAs. Whereas the 38 elected members who opposed the Governor were allocated Kshs45 million in their wards, the seven of us who were in support of the Governor were allocated Kshs15 million. This was up until when the CECM Finance, Economic Planning and ICT complained to the office of the Control Budget (CoB) and sought some advice. That is when that illegality was corrected and all wards were allocated that Kshs36 million according to the agreement between the negotiation team. Thank you."
