    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In the history of revenue formula in this House, I agree with Sen. Okongó Omogeni. We had not concluded the last time we had a kamukunji under your guidance. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it would be important if we can take time off, defer this matter and then come when we have concluded. We do not want a protracted process. You know some of us were there during the last term - Sen. Wambua, Sen. Faki, Sen. Omogeni and I. The fight was very protracted until some colleagues were arrested and detained. Some got intimidated and were blackmailed. There was division in this House which was very unfortunate. It even divided the country. I know the former Governor of Mandera and the current Senator is fully aware because he was also in the mix. I, therefore, challenge and request him with indulgence to let us have a common ground. I know there are smaller counties that feel that they still need to be part of the conversation like Vihiga, Elgeyo Marakwet, Nyamira and Isiolo. Then there will have a convergence point. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, a man with a big heart, a principal and the United Democratic Movement (UDM) party leader, to cede ground and allow us to have a conversation. 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."
