    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate my colleague and elder brother, Sen. Khaniri, for a well thought out statement on something that is important. This should prick our conscience as Senators, if we know exactly what we came to do in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it may interest you to know that when the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) did their report to the National Treasury, one of the recommendations they made was that because Kenyans continue to suffer the plague of cancer, they should provide resources of up to Kshs8 billion to build two regional cancer centers in Kenya in the Budget Statement for 2018/2019. However, the mandarins at the National Treasury never considered that to be a genuine request. Instead, they went ahead and did what has been described by my colleagues from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget as cutting deals and forcing medical equipment down the throats of governors and county governments without prior and proper consultations with the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
