    "content": "Kshs314 billion. When the CARA and the Senate had made a position that we give counties Kshs335 billion, they decided that since the baseline was Kshs314 billion, they add Kshs2 billion. Most of the departments within the national Government were given more than Kshs10 billion. The Senate was gracious enough and decided to bring it down to around Kshs327 billion, but they have refused. Therefore, in short, they are undermining devolution. I tell our colleagues, with all due respect, that the money they allocate does not go to the pockets of Senators. It goes to mashinani, for example, Tharaka-Nithi County, Kapsabet in Nandi County or Kisumu County. It is helping the people directly. What is the big deal if money goes to mashinani ? These are the same representatives who when we go back to the people, are told to add more resources to come to the ground so that people can be worked for."
