    "content": "issues to be clarified by the Supreme Court. Many things are being done for the first time. This year had a lot of hiccups. A Member of the Committee has said that he will be able to raise this matter at the Committee Stage. I hope that we will do better next year because we have seen what has gone wrong. We have identified the areas that need our input right from the conception. If we want to challenge that formula when that time comes, we will be able to do so when they make their proposal. As the CRA, all they do is to make proposals that are brought to the Senate for ratification. I know we will be able to do better. I cannot assure the Senate that Baringo or Kitui counties will be included in the list. But the CRA will do a review that we will participate in as the Senate in the next financial year. I think the question by Sen. Karaba on the term “marginalization” was simply an intervention and I was not meant to respond to it. Sen. Kagwe has also talked about it. The Constitution has also touched the marginalization issue and even the CRA has been guided by the Constitution to come up with counties as devolution units and that is why it has been included in this report. So, I do not want to divorce the idea of having areas with counties. I think it is still constitutional and the counties are recognized. That is why we are considering the marginalized counties."
