"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish you allowed me to finish answering the first point, then I shall come to Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko’s concerns. I am not attempting to insinuate that any members wanted a showdown. It is not an insinuation, but a matter of fact. A shutdown is not launched like a project. It is an inevitable outcome of us not having done division of revenue, that counties are not getting money. It is the inevitable outcome of this process we are going into. This Committee was sent by the Senate to go and agree. We had a kamukunji and Members agreed and sent us to do that. Secondly, on what Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko has said, I stand by my word. We cannot be insensitive to the point where we are able to enjoy our salaries. Yes, it our constitutional right; but it is also the constitutional right of nurses in Migori County to earn their salaries. We must be sensitive enough to say that we must secure this process such that next year, if we do not agree, the nurses in Migori County will still be earning their salary while we haggle on the amount of money. That is what we have gained. That is success for the Senate. We are not debating."
