    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is imputing the far-fetched. In fact, if anything, in this country what will promote cohesion and a sustainable nation is not just hugs and kisses, but equality, equity and social justice. Those are the fundamentals of any tranquil society that enjoys true national harmony. It cannot be about all the time having council of elders telling us to come together, hug and say all kinds of nice things. It eventually must be about development and equity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I also will be asking at the relevant time, when we come to debate the second phase of allocation, because we must do it as this House--- The Kshs190 billion is insufficient to even mop our floors in the counties, metaphorically, in the sense that we need to do more. That said and done, I will be asking also that Mombasa, as a county which brings the highest income to this country, should also enjoy “consumerate” resources. You must yield where you sow. It would be disenfranchising an entire county for us to pretend and that we can continue to give these kinds of counties less money than they deserve in terms of meeting their developmental agenda. We keep that city beautiful because most of you like it. That city is beautiful for everybody to invest in, but we must also ensure that we have the necessary and requisite resources, so that it can progress, because we have not yet reached our saturation point of development."
