    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised the Senator for Nandi wants to insert himself in the communications between my mother and I. Therefore, we as a House must in totality take the position that there is absolutely no justification for these things. As I said even during the debate on the Division of Revenue, the practice has always been that any shortfall in revenue must be borne by the national Government. These programmes are critical and if you are going to tell 22,000 CHPs that they are no longer going to earn the Kshs5,000 they are supposed to earn, it is going to be something akin to a mountain to climb. How do you select the ones to earn and the ones not to earn, the ones to be cut from the programme and the ones to be retained? Therefore, I agree totally with the proposal that has come from the Committee on Budget and Finance, that we must reject in total any attempts to reduce the basket of devolution as has been proposed by the National Assembly. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
