    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Washiali, the Whip of the Majority Party, to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you allow me, I want to make it very clear that the new clauses introduced by the Committee are very weighty and we need to protect the spirit, intent, purpose and object of the Bill. I am only asking for the House to sit again unless you are telling me this House will never sit again. It has to sit tomorrow. It will sit next Thursday and the same Bills will come. I do not think my colleague should infer improper motive. You know I am the patron of the pastoral parliamentary group. I cannot throw you guys under the bus. The law we are going to make is not going to affect only Turkana. It is going to affect those who produce geothermal and solar energy. Even the guys who supply water to Nairobi will have a say. So, this matter is bigger than Turkana. Hon. Lomenen, you know you are one of my foot soldiers. I will never throw you under the bus. This Bill is bigger than Turkana County. This is a Bill for posterity and for generations to come. That is why all of us must make legislation when we are sober. That applies to Hon. Lomenen, his colleagues and all of us. Even a resource like the Port of Mombasa ultimately will belong to the people of Kenya. I want to go on record that the county with the highest revenue allocation is Turkana County with Kshs12 billion plus the Equalisation Fund. Under the new Constitution, Members have the powers even in the Equalisation Fund. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
