    "content": "issues that are impactful to the people of Kenya, so that this Senate is seen to be working for the people of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you allow me to digress a bit, one of the things we know is that we will have the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) coming back to us. There is a recommendation that we should reduce shareable revenue from Kshs400 to Kshs380 billion. This is the day that the Senate needs to rise up and say no. We cannot to be told that every time we have a drop in the national revenue, it is devolution that suffers. We need to stand firm and protect our counties. Let us demonstrate that the Senate does not exist because of politics alone, but to support and protect our counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support this Bill. I encourage other Members who will contribute to also support it so that we can unlock one of the major problems we have been having in the energy sector. That is expensive power purchase agreements, which lead to high cost of power. I thank you."
