    "content": "I wonder why Hon. (Dr.) Pukose would have difficulties. I am happy to take the Floor, but the queue has been quite long on this Bill because I pressed my request button at 2.30 p.m. and I have been waiting since then. I hope when there is a special status it can be considered to allow other processes to take place. In supporting this Bill, I want to commend and thank the Jubilee Government for the allocation of Kshs302 billion, 32.3 per cent of the revenue way above the constitutional minimum of 15 per cent, to the counties. With that allocation, Kenya confirms to everybody that devolution was a good way to go. At Kshs302 billion, Kenya continues to confirm to everybody that devolution was a good way to go and that we made no mistake in our Constitution to pass devolution. Despite the challenges that we have seen in the implementation of the devolution framework, we are still on the right course. I personally support the 47 counties. I have not seen any reason why we should lose any of those counties."
