    "content": "First, I would have loved to congratulate the delegation from Namibia for making the historic decision, a very landmark decision of electing a leader who is a very well- respected lady to lead the nation. It takes a lot of courage and strength for a population that is largely male to entrust a female to lead them. They have shown the way and I hope that Kenya will follow suit. On the communication that you made regarding the passage of the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) by the National Assembly, I request the leadership of the House, both the Majority and Minority side, that we have only two days before we go on recess. Out of DORA springs County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA), out of CARA, springs the Disbursement Schedule, and out of it, springs the County Additional Allocations Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have got so much work to do that even if it was not coming as a communication from the Senate Majority Leader, we could find ways of doing kamukunjis so that we can mobilize each other. At the same time, we are competing against the demands of the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) games. I know many Members sometimes might want to put in a little bit more exercise. There is nothing more important and urgent for the Senate right now beside the consideration of those three additional statutes. Therefore, I encourage that we form a caucus, even if informally, so that we ensure that county governments get this money. This money does not belong to the governors, but to our mothers, fathers and brothers, who need it for much-needed services. Thank you."
