"content": "As I was saying, in the forthcoming formula for the next three years, we should look at it critically because as at now, we are saying that we are looking at population and people are proposing that population should have 50 per cent.We are going to set this country in a very bad mood where smaller counties and smaller communities are going to give birth at a rate worse than that of rats because they will want to have as many people as possible so that their population can go up. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would propose that we think about it. We should look at the counties and the services we want to deliver to the people. What are the key services that are found here in Nairobi? We have tarmacked roads. When we talk about roads, look at the road network in every county and cost it, whether it is there or not, cost it. Even if it is going to take many years, we know that the road network in Tharaka-Nithi or West Pokot is supposed to be like this. So, the money that is going to come, assign every year, we will now achieve that goal. The other issue is the provision of water for everybody. Nairobi and some counties surrounding Nairobi have water pipes to the extent that the pipes are now rusty; which means that they have now enjoyed the provision of water from 1963 or 1965, when this Sessional Paper that Sen.(Prof.) Kindiki quoted, was introduced which delivered the 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."
