    "content": "money allocated to counties in terms of equity, fairness and distribution of resources. This Senate also has a duty to look at the remaining chunk of national resources and how it is distributed across the country and in our counties as well. We represent that interest of those counties in terms of the money given by Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) directly to the counties and the money left at the centre, how it is used and how it affects counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to broaden our thinking. It is too late for now as I believe Mr. Rotich is already in the National Assembly with his briefcase. Let him present the budget. However, we want you as the leader of this House in terms of administration and everything, to team up with us in the leadership and engage your brother in the National Assembly so that as we wait to change the law, we have some agreed administrative issues. I know he has a very dim view of this House as I have been seeing some very embarrassing correspondence. Lastly, I address this to my brother, the Senate Majority Leader, who is a professor of law. The world over, a new Constitution, once promulgated and implemented, within two or three years – if you look at the American, Indian and the First and Second Republic of French constitutions – you subject it to an audit to see what works and what does not; what you overlooked and what you did not; and what you put in excessively and what you did not, so that you now bring things to order to get the Constitution to serve the country better. I think we have reached a level where the country as a whole – not a Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) or Jubilee issue – needs to address these issues so that we can sync things with the expectations and interests of the country."
