"content": "Where we are today, this country is looking for sobriety and wisdom. I think in all fairness at this point, because it is just the Second Reading of this Bill, we can move it on to the Third Reading. We can still affirm our position in the Senate on the amount of Kshs327 billion which we said was just what we gave them; whatever amount we agree on. This is because our amounts did not just come. We did not cook numbers from the air, but there were issues of core inflation. I sat in that Mediation Committee. At this time, let us be the bigger person as a Senate. Let us be the bigger House. Let us not join the juvenile antics of the National Assembly who are trying to prove a point. They do not affirm and define us. I persuade you to allow us to move quickly to vote and move on to the Committee Stage and agree on the Kshs335 billion and stand our ground. The Chairperson was proposing to amend to Kshs327. Let him persuade us that last time it was Kshs314 billion plus core inflation of 4 per cent and let us pass it. I rest my case."
