    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to once again be able to share my thoughts on this second generation formula on revenue allocation. I have been very clear since I came to this House that we need to take a little more time to agree on a formula that best satisfies all the counties. With due respect to the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA), I think this particular formula has gone through consultations. I made it clear when I was in Naivasha that it is inherent that those counties with enormous wage bills are given the necessary caution so that they can have finances for development. I do not mean to hold brief for my county, but it is the county that I represent in this Senate. Just recently, we saw the World Bank Report that puts development expenditure at Mombasa County at 1 per cent. For a fact, when you contrast that with Wajir County, it receives an allocation of an average of Kshs8 billion to Kshs9 The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
