    "content": " If I can probably provide a way out and for the comfort of Sen. Osotsi, Sen. Kinyua and the rest of the Members that I know have a position they are trying to canvass. First of all, I associate myself with the comments of Sen. Wambua. It would have been important that you be here today in the morning as a sign of commitment to your constituents because we had a lengthy discussion. However, that is neither here nor there. What we resolved in that meeting is that the Senators that have a contrary position to what the Committee is proposing to convince the rest of us by way of permutations done by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO). As you make your submissions to the Motion, you inform the House why you disagree with the formula and why the formula you are now proposing serves us better. If you have a good formula and better than what the Committee is proposing, that secures the interest of your particular region or the counties that you are proposing, we will listen to them. However, we felt that it will be unfair to the Committee to continue discussing this matter without it finding its way substantively before the Floor of this House. The practice has always been - and this is a practice adopted in the second and in the third generation and now, that we are doing the fourth - once the Motion is moved, you prepare your notes, Sen. Osotsi, together with permutations calculated for you by the PBO, come and circulate. Then you can convince us. I believe that is what Sen. Omogeni is doing. He is not here because he was part of the Kamukunji . I request that we make progress. We allow the Chairperson to move, the Motion be seconded then deliberations can begin. We are not about to vote this afternoon, Sen. Osotsi. You still have time maybe between today, tomorrow or Thursday, who knows, to convince the rest of the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
