    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not say that. I said it is clear that counties such as Kirinyaga, where I come from, which had been given Kshs2.7 billion will need a billion more. The money that will be given to such counties will go into production and multiplication of more money. Using the multiplier effect, more money will be generated from such productive counties. The Government should continue to give more to those counties. I am trying to justify the fact that counties that are endowed geographically and environmentally should not be left behind. As some Senators have argued counties such as Meru and Kirinyanga; owing to their geographical position of being at the Equator, since they are located on the windward side and not on the leeward side, continue to receive more rainfall than others. That is a geographical fact. You cannot run away from that. That is what I am saying. Counties like Kirinyaga and Nyeri need to be given more money because they will generate more revenue. We have rice which we grow. That rice fetches a lot of money. This money is what is divided to other counties. I think I am right in justifying my point. We need to have roads in Kirinyaga which lead to the Mwea Settlement Scheme. 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."
