    "content": " You know it is because he is thinking about land throughout. As he sits here, his spirit is in the Ministry of Lands and the Commission on Lands. Where I come from, there is plenty of land. He cannot even give me half an acre. So, the President and the team from the National Treasury and the county governments, can review the Deed ofTransfer and rectify Section 5(2). The other option is for the President to exercise Article 115 because I think the thing has now become very murky. Resources follow functions. So, if you transfer functions you must also transfer resources to the person who is going to perform those functions. That is the pure reading of the Constitution and the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. In fact, most of us, Hon. Junet and myself wanted to reject this and go to mediation. However, we realized that sometimes if the Senate found something in law, we have no reason to fight them. So, we have no choice but to support the Committee's recommendations and then the National Executive, the County of Nairobi, the Senate and ourselves. We can sit again and see how we can deal with this matter, but the bottom line is transfer of resources must follow transfer of functions. Moreover, we must make sure those resources are available. I support, Hon. Speaker. Thank you."
