    "content": "We should also make this a political issue. Why would Members of the National Assembly not consider it important for enough money to go to the counties where their constituents are? That becomes a great speaking point even from us as the Senate because we are looking for development in the counties. This is not about politics. It is about the various Kenyans who are in these counties and how they can be taken care of. As we look at the Bill that has been assented to without the input of the Senate, it is important for us to ensure – this whole issue is so historical; the process we are going through now just reminds us of the Eleventh Parliament. We went through exactly this and sought the advisory opinion that took us to where it did, but then again, these issues come up over and over again. We even formed a Committee at that time, that was headed by Sen. Murkomen and a team that was meant to look at these issue and give us a way forward and recommendation.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
