    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the Adjournment Motion moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. I would like to take cognisance of the good work that this House has done so far and in particular the Division of Revenue Bill which was a difficult Bill to pass in this House. We all remember that this House and the Senate were locked in a tussle. However, we were able to unlock this particular dispute in whatever way we did. At the end of the day, we had the Division of Revenue Bill passed by this House and the counties will have resources to use. We were all reasonable in that we did not want to pull and push forever. We wanted money to go to the counties. We hope that once this money gets its way to the counties, it is going to be used well for the benefit of all Kenyans. We must re-state here that all monies sent to the counties and constituencies must be used properly because the reason why we are in this House or why we have the Senate is to ensure that the common mwananchi back at home benefits. The need to use resources properly cannot be overstated. Therefore, I am also happy with the ruling by the High Court that Senate cannot be prevented from carrying out its role to supervise the county governments or summon governors to come and account for the monies that belong to the people of Kenya."
