    "content": "have a spatial plan for all your urban areas as you sit here. You should ask yourself; what does my county look like? How many buildings are there? How many roads are there? If you go to your sub-counties, you also need to ask yourself a few questions. You need to know how many feeder roads are there in those sub-counties. That is when you will know that it behooves you to fight hard, so that not a single penny is deducted from those funds. You cannot remove those funds. Recently, we were told that our colleagues, who are in the Budget Committee of the National Assembly, make sure that their constituencies get a lot of money and they actually fight for it. I am sure my sister, Sen. Tobiko, who was a Member of Parliament at the National Assembly would wish to be in that Budget Committee so as to make sure that some money goes to Kajiado County. Unfortunately for her, she in now here, in the Senate. Those people will still want money for themselves. The question is; what will happen to you? Those Members will deduct the little money that is supposed to go to the counties. Unless we are all cognizant of the fact that we are here to fight for our counties, we will end up being a laughing stock. This is the time when we break the protocol and come up with hats and I am willing to sponsor that. Finally, I want to remind those that I believe will eventually go to the mediation committee that they have a duty. You are lucky that you drive a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) when going back home. There are people who are stuck in a Probox or boda boda in a dilapidated road. Your SUV will be able to go through, but think of that person who has been bundled up in a Probox or three or four people on a motorbike going through bumpy roads. Think about their generations, if there will be any. Thank you. I reject the amendments."
