"content": "This is what always happens in this House. Last time, when we were discussing Division of Revenue Act (DORA), we knew there was an illegality but we decided to continue. We accepted the Kshs 316 billion. Now, the date has been changed and we have said we continue. The Committee on Finance was in a meeting this afternoon and we decided to bring CARA, which came to the Senate Business Committee (SBC), to the plenary. We do not know anything about it. Everything from CARA came from Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) a few minutes ago. We have not even discussed about it as a committee. We have agreed that we will pass it because people and counties are complaining. People are suffering. While we agree with that, are we doing the right thing? No. We are not doing the right thing. Mr. Speaker, I do not want to take a lot of time but the issue here is that the Senate is not being serious and as my teacher Sen. Prof) Ongeri said, we are taking ourselves home. This will be 1966 again and we are the cause of this problem. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
