    "content": "We could as well have passed this important Motion and then refused to go to the next orders. I have come to understand that some governors do not as yet understand the role of the Senate as per the Constitution. I fail to understand how governors who are supposed to have been graduates cannot understand basic English as put in the Constitution in Articles 96 on the roles of the Senators. I call upon the Commission for University Education (CUE) to question the authenticity of their certificates. Even a primary school student can understand that English. The unfortunate position that the Senate finds itself in, is that, it has not been facilitated on its very important role of oversight. The sibling wars between the Senate and the National Assembly should be checked. I have also come to note that there are sibling wars between the leadership of this House which is the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader; that could have led to the situation that we are in today. They serve us no purpose. I would like to remind this House of a few facts; the cash disbursement schedule is based on revenue performance trends at the national Government level. The cash disbursement Schedule allocation includes conditional allocation to Level Five hospitals, free maternal health care, compensation for foregone user fee, allocations from the Fuel Levy Fund as well as conditional allocation for health facilities as grants of development from development partners especially the World Bank and the Danish Development Agency (DANIDA). The National Treasury will be responsible for equitable share of revenue and Level five conditional grants as well as special purpose grants whereas the Accounting officer responsible for health will be responsible, provided that the national Treasury has received written instructions from Treasury authorizing the transfer of the grants. I also want you to note that the Kenya Roads Board will be responsible for transfer of the Fuel Levy Fund to the respective county revenue fund. I believe everybody is convinced that this schedule is important to be passed by this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir in case we are unable to pass the Schedule today, my request is that another attempt at the earliest possible is made for this House to reconvene and pass it since it is of extreme importance to the disbursement of funds to the county governments. I appeal to all Members that when that is done, it should be “all systems go” and we should all respond to our primary responsibility.
