    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, there is a saying which states that if a child cries for a knife, you just pick a stick, sharpen it and give it to the child to keep quiet. Looking at this allocation, it makes no difference with what that saying states. We are not just raising issues because we want to but the money allocated to Machakos County, for example, is to cater for over four million people because Kitui and Makueni people seek treatment from Machakos. Therefore, this allocation is not going to do anything. We are just being told not to talk or ask questions because there is an allocation but it is not taking us anywhere. I wish to state that it is the right of Kenyans to get what they deserve and there should be enough allocation to the counties. If it is not there, there is no need to give what is not going to do anything. Therefore, we need to reconsider this matter. We have talked here about these issues and the previous parliaments talked about it but we seem to be Members who just come here to talk, talk and talk go home and after that, there is nothing. We are fed up."
