    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is with a light touch. Well, the hope is that the poor will go to heaven, let us hope so. But I hope heaven will not also follow the same law. Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand here to say that there are projects in which I think the national Government has been left with 85 per cent of the money. Of course, we know through the budgets where it will go. This money being allocated right now is very little. A lot of it, will go to pay salaries, with very little of it to do projects. Therefore, it is important that the national Government actually utilizes this 85 per cent to do one major project that is in the heart of the county to ensure that there is some balancing. For example, if a major dam is done in Isiolo – of which I know one is being done right now – and a similar project is done elsewhere like that, then I think we will feel that, besides the small money from the county governments, we are also developing and benefitting from the national Governments’ funds. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, and in order to also give other Senators some time to speak, I beg to support."
