    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to support the sentiments of my colleagues. The reports appearing in the press suggest that the Senate picked Kshs7 billion from the air without justification. Maybe, it will be appropriate that you tell this House, through a communication, whether the HANSARD of the proceedings, both at the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget level and in the Floor of the House, were communicated to the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget of the National Assembly. This is because it is in bad taste for Senators to appear as if we plucked Kshs7 billion from somewhere while the correct position would be that there was justification of the items that we rejected. It is also fair that while you communicate with them, you tell them that the Supreme Court gave us the mandate to amend, alter or do anything that we feel is in the best interest of counties. Our work is not to rubberstamp decisions made by them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
