    "content": "Senate felt that denying the people resources on the account of poor fiscal management by a governor was not prudent. This formula allowed this parameter not to be considered; that if one governor is not financially disciplined a county is denied resources. The other factor that has been raised is why only 12 counties were identified for use in the new formula. These counties are small, and that is why affirmative action has been employed for them. Previously, using the two important parameters, population and geographical size, these counties received very little resources and at the end, they have no resources to undertake development programmes. That is why they were identified for affirmative action in the new formula so that they receive extra money to allow them to undertake development programmes. With those many remarks, I would like to reply. Hon. Members, I want to put the Question, but before I do, let me once again notify you that we do not have the numbers required for you to negative this Motion. Either way your voices go, the Ayes will have it."
