    "content": "grant which the national Government has already given to the county governments be converted to equitable share and then we have a solution to the problem. Otherwise, they are talking about Kshs335 billion while in reality they are getting Kshs374.81 billion. That will be my recommendation. We may need to think about bringing on board more of the conditional grants being converted to equitable share so that we do not have this problem. As I conclude, I just want to say that this idea of the two House going to court is not proper. As leaders of this country we need to be serious. At the end of the day, I like what the Chief Justice said. Budget-making cannot be judicial issue and it will never be unless we change the Constitution. So, on that note, we must come back to our House called Parliament, where we have two chambers, talk in Parliament and agree on this figure. People going to the Judiciary are just wasting their time. The Judiciary will not say allocate this amount to counties, it is only this House in concurrence with the Senate which will say this amount is going to the counties. With those remarks, I want to say I support and urge our colleagues in the Senate to support this Bill with Kshs316.5 billion. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
