    "content": "Kshs20 billion should be under the percentage of resources remaining at the national level so that we have the Kshs210 billion moving down to the county government, just like the Equalisation Fund which is not part of the 15 per cent. That is already a separate fund. So, the conditional allocation should be treated separately from the amount of resources that are going to the county governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Senate, we need to assert our authority. The Senator for Nandi is obviously not a retiree as asserted by Members of the Lower House. I think as we move to raise the resources in this Bill upwards, we will be able to demonstrate to this country that the Senate does not and will never be a rubberstamp to decisions of the Lower House. More importantly when we get the County Allocation Bill, which the Lower House will have no input in whatsoever, we will make a determination on how much Nandi County gets and how much other counties will get with regard to the resources allocated. I support this Motion with the reservation that we will be able to make amendments."
