    "content": "Finally, I assure the House on the issue of moving to court. I will bring a proper Statement on Tuesday next week. We are ready to rock and roll on this issue. We are headed to court. I would like to tell my colleagues that this is the right time. If they are fainthearted or have blood pressure issues, they should keep off and watch the television or Viusasa because we are headed to the real battle. As we move on to court, my colleagues should know that what we are doing is not for our benefit, as Senators, but for now and posterity. We need to strengthen this institution. You never know where you will land after this. If we do not strengthen this institution, it means that we will be doing badly. Therefore, I urge my colleagues as we move forward to a legal battle and open our political gun blazing, as my colleague Senator as said, to stand to shelter and protect the integrity of this House, devolution and Kenyans from people who want to destroy us and ensure that devolution does not work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they say that before you kill a dog, you give it a bad name. That is what the National Assembly is trying to do to the Senate. Therefore, as colleagues, we must stand together and ensure that we protect this House. As we move forward, the money that is allocated to the counties should go to them. Let us not relent from Kshs335 billion that is meant for counties. We must hold our grounds. The Appropriation Bill that was signed into law is illegal. The Government should be advised that this thing needs to be sorted, so that we do not perpetuate illegality. As a professor of law, you know very well that illegality does not pay."
