    "content": "The reason I am saying that all of us need to be on part and parcel and also understand the science behind this revenue formula, is so that when we are sitting here, we do not go through the 11 Motions like we did the last time. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to seek your indulgence, in as far as the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget is inviting all the Senators. In my view, it is important. Just listen to my two cents. The Senators need to understand this scientifically. Some of us are talking about population, others are talking about poverty and there is also a basis. Not all of us understand this. I truly understand because I went through it. Sen. Wambua also went through it in the last Parliament. So, having all of us sit here and debate, others might even trivialise the matter or might just make it as simple as my county needs X amount of money. In the last debate, there was one county; it did not matter whether you denied that county money, it was still gaining. This is a county of Sen. Cherarkey. That county is still gaining. We were shocked. Why was it that whatever formula we came up with the county continued gaining?"
