    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are being told that a leader who does not exist in the records of the House has stopped that consultation that took place. This is my Motion. It is not a Motion of the Majority side. Yes, I am the Majority Leader. I have introduced it in my capacity as the Majority Leader but it is a Motion that I had drafted in the knowledge that both sides do not have Committees. As you have said, the fact that there are no Committees on both sides can paralyse the House. Also, I acted in extreme public interest. Only a mad man in the market would oppose money going to every county. In fact, all these equality arguments that Sen. Wetangula argued here would only go ahead to serve the protection – in fact I would say that if I had announced on the Floor of the House how many Senators want to serve in this Committee, there should have been a stampede. A stampede because we all care about money going to our counties. We care for Homa Bay County and Siaya County the same way we do for Elgeyo-Marakwet County and Makueni County. It would be a shame tomorrow that Senators are bickering over who is the big man to the extent that they could not form a Committee to save money going to the counties. That hospitals cannot operate because we were arguing here who is the big man, who is the small man? I am giving a way forward. If the four Senators from the Minority side came to Floor and said they are not interested to serve in this Committee, I would be willing, in the middle of the Motion, that we draft an amendment, to remove the names but we cannot stop money going to the counties."
