    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Division of Revenue Bill is the most important financial instrument that this House considers. Every Senator, if they are committed to their sense of duty, ought to have a view on the Division of Revenue Bill, because this is where we are demonstrating to the people that we represent. That the money that governors are using in the counties cannot pass to them without going through the Senate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some Senators in this House, like the Senator for Bungoma County, has been told that he has nothing to do with the money that goes to Bungoma County. It is at this point that we demonstrate that if the Senator does not vote yes or no, that money will not reach Bungoma County. Even if the mood was for the Mover to reply, I hope that you can have a bit of elasticity so that each Senator is able to explain why the amount of money their county governments based their budgets on is going to go down, and why it is likely that some hospitals are not going to have drugs, some markets will not be built, roads will not be maintained, because of certain decisions that have been made here. 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."
