    "content": "county to make sure that resources are available. There is, however, still a problem. This is still a problem that the Senate and the Executive must deal with. In fact, the Deed should have been clearer if you allow the county to be deciding on how the Nairobi Metropolitan Committee will be funded. Let us not run away from it. Indeed, it is a problem and especially with a Governor called “Mr. Mike Mbuvi Sonko”. He is the one who is going to be providing money to this organ. This is something that even if we pass it as the Senate is suggesting, still, a discussion on how the smooth funding of these functions needs to be done. I fault the Executive on that. They were not diligent in preparing the transfer Deed. They, therefore, brought the problem to this House. Let the Executive team which prepared the Deed look at it and correct this mess. Otherwise, we are going to have functions transferred to a body headed by a competent Kenyan called Mr. Mbadi, yet he may not have resources. Look at what happened the other day, the Governor refused to assent to a Supplementary Budget to get this body money to perform its functions. As I second, I foresee that still there is a problem which the Executive must fix. The President has the powers to even reject what we have suggested to help him. You know this Constitution is very nice. It gives the President power even to return the Division of Revenue Bill, actually to legislate with a veto. For us to get two-thirds to overrule him and the Senate, may not be easy. It is a tip to the Executive on what they can do. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second."
