    "content": "demand for accountability and transparency for some of these resources. I think the enemies of devolution are now regrouping. Therefore, as the Senate, if we allow this Procedural Motion not to succeed and more money is not added to the counties, then it means we will be allowing the counties and even the Senate to be wound up under our watch. Madam Temporary Speaker, the law is very clear under Article 153 (3). I have seen some Members of the other House saying that Cabinet Secretaries do not have any business coming to the Senate Committees and the Senate itself. I want to remind them that they should be very careful and should read Article 153(3) which states clearly that all Cabinet Secretaries must appear both in the National Assembly and the Senate. I support the proposal that more resources be added to the counties and ask that we expeditiously move this Bill so that our counties and the national Government do not face any shutdown. I even urge the President not to continue with the provisions of the Appropriations Act because that Appropriations Act as it is now, is illegal and unconstitutional. Thank you."
