    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. The last time I was on my feet, I was contributing on the report on the issue of National Assembly aamendments to the County Government's Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bills No.19 of 2024). Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I make any further comments, allow me, with your indulgence, to wish all 965,000 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) students all the best as they begin their national exams. I encourage them to do their best in their forthcoming exams. I wish them good health and good memory. They have to know that you must not get an A. You can get any grade, but head in a particular direction. God will be gracious and he can make their life wherever they would be, especially our KCSE students. Secondly, I want to comment and thank the Committee on Finance and Budget. For the first time, they have made tremendous progress.You can remember that after the Finance Bill, 2024 flopped, there was an issue of reviewing our allocations to counties. One of them was Kshs401 billion. After the amendment by the National Assembly, it was reduced to Kshs380 billion, which was way below before the last financial year allocation of Kshs385 billion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, they even went ahead to reduce the conditional grants. The National Assembly continues to violate and defile the Constitution in all instances, 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."
