    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Senate represents the interests of counties. Any amendment or figures that have been put up are in consideration of the requirements of the counties. In this House, we have passed very many Bills originating from the National Assembly in good faith without rejecting or amending them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is disheartening that any time we arrive at a figure which we think is proper and in good faith, the other House takes it as if we are in competition yet, Members of the National Assembly represent constituencies where this money is going. This exercise of allocating funds to counties should not be an area of contest just for the purpose of proving which House has more say than the other because we are all serving the public. It is the right time Members of the National Assembly took us as equal partners in terms of decisions concerning allocation of funds to counties and on any other matter so that our Bills are not trashed just because they did not originate from the National Assembly. Thank you."
