    "content": "is appropriation and allocation of funds to the counties. To this end, the National Assembly erred before. There is a way we can rectify them and agree to work together. I thank the Senators who came out strongly when this matter went to the Supreme Court. I encourage my colleagues, especially those on the legal team and even the support from your office; that the journey is not yet over. We still need legal, moral and prayer so that even the issue of the 22 legislations that are before the High Court of Kenya, can be quickly resolved. We are not doing this to fight or challenge anybody’s authority. We want to uphold fidelity to the rule of law, protect constitutionalism and ensure that even in posterity, people can look at the time when we were Senators and laud us for doing the right thing of defending the Constitution. That is an obligation that everybody has. Even the Constitution has given us powers for everybody who is a Kenyan to protect this Constitution. I advise our colleagues that it is not yet over until it is over. This is our first win. As we move to the High Court, let us walk together."
