    "content": "We expect the Senator of Nyamira County to report to us next week that the County Assembly of Nyamira will now be sitting in the gazetted premises of the Assembly. He should report to us that they will be appropriating money for the county government under the law and the Constitution. Madam Temporary Speaker, I listened to the Senator from Elgeyo Marakwet County and I am not convinced about what he is asking for. I am very honest. The Senator asked us to have mercy on them. However, this must go beyond us having mercy on counties. We must be convinced that the money they are asking for will be allocated to do things that will be beneficial to the people in those counties. Why do I say that, Madam Temporary Speaker? I say that because the request put forward to us, in this amendment, is to allocate Kshs4.6 billion to 11 counties that, in the opinion of the Senators from those counties, are disadvantaged. We have just listened to the submission from the Committee on Finance and Budget. Going by reality, the growth in revenue to counties is realistically Kshs5 billion, considering what we passed in the last financial year. 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."
