    "content": "I noticed that the Commission on Revenue Allocation is acting in bad faith by going to the Senate with different figures. I was touched when the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee narrated how after they agreed, they went to the Senate with different figures. These are the people who want to divide our country. They want to reflect some bad faith on the part of the national Government by not strengthening devolution. We ask some of these commissions to strengthen this country and not to divide it or take advantage. Therefore, I ask our colleagues on the other side to support. On this note, I will talk to my Senator in the evening that when such things happen, they should see this country as one. When we talk about Senate or the National Assembly, we are all working towards the same thing. We want to see this country develop. We want to see our people’s lives improve. We do not want people who go shouting that the national Government does not support devolution and is curtailing what is supposed to go to the county governments. This Budget is very clear, that our national Government is for devolution just like the rest of us. Let no one come in between to try and play a “Mr. better” than the national Government. I urge these commissions to stop what they are doing."
