    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support a further amendment to Sen. Kagwe’s amendment on this basis. You do recall that last year we went to the Supreme Court and we were called all the lofty terms: “Angels of Devolution, Defenders of County, the Alpha and Omega of everything else. This is an institution that should appear to protect counties. What angels are they come in the most unexpected of circumstances? When a child does not think it is not going to have a Christmas and the angel comes with a magic band and the child suddenly has a beautiful dress and goes to the Christmas ball. Angels do things that others do not expect them to do. So, what we need to do as angels now is to do the magic thing and ensure that counties get adequate resources. It is not dispute that our counties suffer almost a state of insolvency based on the debts they have inherited from the national Government. They are unable to pay these debts. In fact, we passed a resolution here to facilitate our counties in the payment of the debts, but they have not been paid. The counties have enormous financial burdens. Minus an amendment that gives them adequate resources that is empirical, we will not be able to perform our role as the Senate."
