    "content": "can we not develop another micro formula that justifies another county getting Kshs200 million and another one getting Kshs100 million. People are going to shift positions. We had agreed that we were not going to disturb the formula, but now the issue of financial responsibility is coming. People are now saying; no let us tweak the poverty index by two percent or 2.5 percent. Madam Temporary Speaker, the whole thing is going to open up. Why, because, people are not listening? When you have a deal, take it first and hold it. You are not going to convince 37 counties to give you Kshs4 billion and we had agreed on Kshs2 billion. It is going to be very difficult and then more things are going to come up. One of the speakers is even saying that we stand down this Motion and wait for mediation and DORA to be confirmed, we wait for everything. We had a deal. The deal was on the table and we were going to confirm it. We are going to vote for it with clean hearts. It is now going to debate. It is opening up so many fronts. Madam Temporary Speaker, I plead with my colleagues; my prayer is that you step down this push. Allow people to accommodate what they had taken. They had agreed Kshs181 million for each one of you. They were not questioning many things. They were just saying; we are accommodating on principle. Step down on this. Let us not open all these fronts. Let us agree that we are going to reserve that Kshs2 billion. People are now talking about ring-fencing. This is because, you are lengthening this thing. You get a deal, run away with it. I am begging my colleagues who are in this 11. People are even saying that we go for caucus. Someone else has said they are going to add their county, so that they are 12. When will it end? Why can people not just have the wisdom of accepting what they have? I beg to oppose."
