    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to take a lot of time because many Senators want to speak to the point. However, there are some people who are forgetting about this new environment that we have, so that we are able to resolve things in accordance with the law and the Constitution. Name calling will not help. The solution to this matter is to bring back an Act or legislation to cure what has already been done. I support those that have now shown us the knife. We have no alternative but to go to court and have this matter determined once and for all. I hope that every Member of this Senate will not hesitate in a week or 10 days’ time, when this matter is taken to court. We need to be together in this, otherwise, they will kill this Senate like they did many years ago. That Senate used to sit here. It will be a great tragedy that those who fought for this Constitution would see the Senate and devolution die because if you deny counties funds, the resultant effect is that you do not want those counties to operate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the Statement made by the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget. It is a well-considered Statement and should be attached to the pleadings that we are going to file in court. I think that Statement will be cited in the judgment because it is a well thought out. It sets out the law as to how to handle the Division of Revenue before the proper budget process begins."
