    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I will be very brief. I too, like my brother, Sen. Sang, am saddened. I have a heavy heart today because the job which is designated to Cheserem was done. He brought a figure of Kshs279 billion after going through the technical aspects. All of us, thought that figure was adequate for all our counties for now. We went to Berlin with your Mr. Deputy Speaker. However, when we came back, we learned that things had changed. There were meetings with the various leaders of this country. Basically, they said that they did not have the funds to pay the Kshs279 billion. After much haggling, it came down to Kshs238 billion. The meeting was organized by Inter-Governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC). It was chaired by the Deputy President. We then accepted the Kshs238 billion with a heavy heart because it is totally inadequate for all our counties. We then came here and held our kamukunji meeting. This negotiated figure of Kshs226 billion came up. My friend, Sen. Wetangula, when I talked to him about this figure, he told me: “Gideon, a bad settlement in law is better than a good trial.” That is what he told me."
