    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by thanking all the Members who have contributed to this very useful Motion. Not in the least, I also want to express my great appreciation for the speech by the Hon. Member for Homa Bay. I listened to it and I think he did it very eloquently. I am sure that the people of Homa Bay who listened just as the Senator for Nakuru was impressed - I am sure the people of Homa Bay will be more impressed and would appreciate that they made the right choice. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I just want to make a couple of comments. One, I want to urge the Ministry of Finance and the national Treasury to ensure that the budget estimates that will be prepared for the national Government, reflect the development priorities predicated on the policies and strategies that are contained in this Statement. Quite often, you will find that the resource allocation by the Government is not aligned to national policies or even, our development blue prints, like the flagship projects in Vision 2030. We have made recommendations to that effect and we urge them to take note of that and take on board all those recommendations. Secondly, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the final pillar that the Government focused on is to entrench devolution for better service delivery. The import of that is that the Government will provide adequate resources to ensure that devolution is entrenched. Notwithstanding the fact that the proposed criteria for revenue allocation for the second generation was rejected by the House a short while ago, I think it is very important that these Members are alive to the fact that when the Division of Revenue Bill comes up in 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."
