"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Articles 94 and 96 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 gives us the mandate to legislate, represent, oversight and participate in the budget-making process. It cannot be that the biggest threat to devolution in this country today, are Members of the National Assembly. How can they appropriate and pass a budget of Kshs4 trillion and give counties a paltry Kshs400 billion? It is a shame. I want to tell Kenyans who are watching us, the reason there is underdevelopment in mashinani is because of the Members of the National Assembly. Of the Kshs4 trillion, we should be pushing that Kshs1 trillion or 50 per cent or Kshs4 trillion of the budget, should go to mashinani; which is counties. Today, the people of Nyamira, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Kajiado, Taita-Taveta, Isiolo, Lamu, Embu and Kitui counties--- We must come up with a formula of win-win, Kenyans for Kenyans."
