    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA), in trying to allocate the Kshs200 billion they are talking of, has designed a formula on how to distribute that money. Some of us who have been fighting for devolution, what we actually wanted was power to go back to the people. We wanted resources to be taken to the people. So, if you look at the national Budget as a whole which goes beyond Kshs800 billion, the Kshs200 billion is just peanuts to the people. I would appeal to hon. Members of Parliament if they really care to convince the CRA to move the minimum amount of Kshs200 billion to something like Kshs400 billion so that the people themselves can be able to manage their resources and enjoy the services they have been yearning for, for a very long time."
