    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Members who have challenged this formula because we all mean well for our counties. Today I want to plead and persuade the Members that we dispense off this matter immediately because counties are waiting for us to make a decision on this formula. If we do not approve this formula, they will use the old formula to allocate resources to counties. I know that we have even passed the deadline for the approval of this formula, so that it can also go to National Assembly. We, as hon. Senators, should hold a conference to discuss issues pertaining to water, agriculture and health. These issues should be addressed immediately. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as a country, have achieved a lot in the last 50 years of Independence. However, counties want this Senate to do a lot for them by passing the right formula which will help them achieve more development. We do not want to go back to the old formula where some counties were given meager resource. The Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget needs to engage the CRA for us to agree on a formula that will be acceptable to all of us. 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."
