    "content": "I really understand what my colleagues are going through since this is the most memorable day for the Senate. This is the day where the whole country expects the Senate to perform its mandate. I believe that the governors, the MCAs and wananchi are excited because we are debating on the amount that we are going to have for the year 2015/2016. I will just compare this moment to the moments of a Christian during Christmas Day and Eid ul fitr to the Muslims or any other important day in one’s life. I support this Bill and I know that the Committee did its best. It worked around the clock. In fact, just to let you know, the Committee Members have been meeting from 7.30 a.m. on Tuesday and yesterday, the secretariat was still working on it. Today, we met as early as 8.00 a.m. I believe that is why we are here. Just like what my colleagues have said, it is very important for the CRA, the National Treasury and the Inter- Governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) to respect the mandate of the Senate. The governors should not go behind the Senate, they should know that it is the Senate that should negotiate and that has the mandate to determine the amount which is going to the counties--- 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."
