"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will never abandon you. My spirit will always be here. I join my Chairman, Sen. Billow and my colleague Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Indeed the Chairman today chaired a meeting in this chamber with the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Finance, the Council of Governors, the Commissioner for Revenue Allocation and all other institutions that are concerned about this revenue allocation to the counties. We had a productive discussion and I am sure the Chairman will report this to us on Friday. The issues raised are extremely important for Senators not just those who are going to be governors because this tradition must be maintained; that the Senate gets fully involved and versed in revenue allocation for counties so that when we speak, we do not speak from hearsay but from the point of being informed by facts and how the budget system has evolved to the point that certain principles are being established by tradition which will inform the future; and those principles which will form tradition must be influenced by this Senate. I beg to support."
