    "content": "very wrong; and that is why we came up with devolution; so that those counties which are producing 1 per cent can also produce a little bit more. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we now want to see a situation where devolution works totally. Even when the Senate was coming up with the Kshs48 billion, it was because the committees which sat down found out that there are some counties where the functions they are now inheriting from the previous system will not be catered for by the money which will end up in those counties through the formula set out by the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA). But some of us – like myself – opposed that also, because if you facilitate the counties which have got a deficiency in the money which is being given to them, it then means that you are perpetuating the fact that those ones who never had the opportunity or facilities will continue not having those facilities. That is the reason why I think even if it means changing the Constitution, we must revise it in such a way that every county is facilitated to be at par with the others so as to generate the incomes like Mombasa and Nairobi. With those few remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
