    "content": "Despite the fact that Kenya ratified the Abuja Declaration as well as the Maputo Declaration to affirm that 15 per cent and 10 per cent goes to health and farming respectively, the state of these two sectors in the counties is wanting. It is unfortunate that the National Assembly has turned their back against what is happening in the counties. The National Assembly should know that we must work as partners to ensure that we serve Kenyans. If we cannot deliver to Kenyans, even the National Assembly has no business being there. We must be keen and sensitive to our people in the counties. We can only defend Article 1 of the Constitution if we ensure that services are reaching all Kenyans. Power belongs to the people and this can be implemented at the county level. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion because we will go down on record having defended the counties. We are here to defend the counties. That is our business in the Senate. We have no other business. It is the core business that we must support. I encourage my fellow Senators that we should press on---."
