    "content": "Thank you. Informed by Article 113(2), we will have to vote either to approve or reject this. Much as we know two wrongs do not make a right, the Senators are still fighting for their supremacy. I am very sure they had got an opportunity to show the country that they are superior to us and that unlike us, they support devolution. However, in accounting it is so clear that every debit must have a credit. We should agree that this Kshs 3.3 billion which is going to be debited should also be credited somewhere. First, the Senators are to receive a whopping Kshs1.45 billion which the Budget and Appropriations Committee had to some extent agreed to. But because everything has a cost, I believe that this money should now be surrendered to be part of the money that is going to support devolution which they claim to be supporting. When I look at how this money would have been used, I am sure in my mind that this money would have done us no better. This money was opening windows for Senators to team up with governors. They are supposed to oversee the county governments. Which county government except the one for Embu has been brought to book? Much as we know that we support devolution, part of this money should be got from that amount of money for the Senators. You remember last year the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) wanted to buy helicopters. The other day they wanted to build courts.
