    "content": "If there has been a rise in national revenues, why are we being told a different story here? We are being told that we have our revenue shortfall. So, if there is a rise, which has been communicated to this House by the Head of the State and is in our record, why would this House go for a lower figure when there is a rise in revenues? Out of that contradiction in this report which are talking of a shortfall, but the Head of the State who is in charge of Government is talking about a rise in revenue, I will not support this report. I will reject it. The National Assembly has not reduced their allocation to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). They have not touched it. Why is it that they are agreeing to lower the figure for counties and NG-CDF remains untouched? We will look as bad before our own people as Senators, that the Members of the National Assembly have their way on NG-CDF intact, but Senators, we do not have our way. So, what is our role as a Senate? So, again on that note, I will reject this report"
