    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I would wish to bring to the attention of majority of the Senators here, as they try to wonder why some counties are getting more on Column “B” as opposed to others a few facts. Out of the percentage that is supposed to be devolved to the counties, that is, 15 per cent, 85 per cent is left to the national Government for its own national projects. What is important for us to understand is that revenue in this country is generated within the counties. The counties that generate more, should be supported, so that they can continue generating more. If you abandon a county which produces a commodity that brings in a lot of revenue, then you are denying the county the chance to generate that revenue which, later on, is shared with the other counties. What I am trying to say is that when you talk about marginalized counties and others which are advantaged, there is nothing wrong there. It just happened that 12 per cent of Kenya is advantaged. So, about 80 per cent is disadvantaged for one or two reasons. So, when people start talking about advantaged, disadvantaged and all the other The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
