    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you in congratulating Sen. Moses Kajwang for the eloquent presentation. I saw a man speaking with a lot of passion, calmly. He has also demonstrated his deep understanding of faith and relevant example about the parable of the talent. In that regard, he can be sure that he is in good company. I have been lonely for a long time but I am very happy to have a man who can properly quote the scriptures and contextualize the current debate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to congratulate the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget for doing a very good job on this document. From the outset, I would like to say that this is a thorough job considering that all the committee chairs had to be pushed within a very short time to contribute to this document. It means that despite the short time and the challenges the Committee was going through, they did their best to ensure that we have a very good document. I read through this document and I am very happy because, first of all, we need to appreciate that when we are discussing matters of national planning, it has to be clear to Kenyans that national planning is not national Government planning. National planning is planning for the nation which is a function that touches both on national and county issues. When we talk about revenue raised nationally, the revenue benefits both county and national Government. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are key players; no wonder the Constitution provides very clearly that there is a time that the Senate will not only be voting on matters affecting counties but also on other matters like this one. In my interpretation, other issues of national importance and which will castigate an impact on the counties is 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."
