    "content": "are crediting a county because it is big, the fact that it is big should also be associated with the utility of that bigness. Whereas I will tolerate using this 8 per cent for the first five years, I think we should watch how it is used. We should ask ourselves whether that 8 per cent goes towards improving the utility of land or it just becomes a measure by which a large land mass gets more money without being associated with any utility to that land. My recommendation would be that in the long run, we should reduce that 8 per cent to something like 5 per cent. The 3 per cents should be taken to physical responsibility. We will have 5 per cent for land area and utility and 3 per cent for physical responsibility. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we reward physical responsibility with more money, then people are bound to be more judicious in the way in which they use public resources. If physical responsibility is a mere 2 per cent, then it is apparent that the responsibility of being judicious in using public resources is not really very seriously considered by those of us who vote monies to counties. I would just advise the next Budget Committee or the next Parliament of which I will be a Member in the Senate representing Kisumu County, that this is something that we may have to revise in the Senate. This will be the responsibility of the Senate. I expect my dear friend, Dr. Khalwale, who is sitting opposite me, to be my colleague in that Senate. I beg to support."
