Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge you, as I support this amendment, that we quickly move to agree on a position, which I have proposed to be Kshs3 billion. Let us support our brothers from smaller counties and then go fight for more resources. We must fight for those resources starting next week. Therefore, let us pass this formula this week and then face the national Government on the issue of Kshs465 billion that must go to counties. When we finish that fight, the next one will be with governors on accountability and corruption. We cannot fight for Kshs465 billion to go to counties, only for governors to waste it by acquiring fleets of vehicles or turning themselves into billionaires. Every five years, we end up creating 47 billionaires in these counties in the name of governors. It must stop. Yes, we are going to fight for our people to receive the Kshs465 billion. However, once that is done, we are coming for the governors. They must stop this scourge of corruption involving money meant for the grassroots. That fight begins next week. 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."
