    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are not going to move this counties in the direction we want if we allow this clause to go. We must put very strong provisions here. To collect Kshs105 billion is not a big thing for this Government. They have squandered so much money in different ways. So, Kshs105 billion is not an issue. If they say they cannot collect revenue on 1st July, let us wait. But by this month, one month after, let all the money come out. At any rate, there is a clear provision that any monies that have not been spent in the Consolidated Fund, and I am sure they will be remaining more than Kshs100 billion, would be available to be added and taken to the counties. This is where the rubber meets the road. I really want us to think about how we will formulate but my own formulation, and I know we will be bringing an amendment here so that we have this money come out in the manner in which the Constitution stipulates. When the Kenyan people passed this Constitution, when we went to campaigns, we told them they will be getting this amount of money, and we are not going to go back on that."
