"content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you, on behalf of my colleagues in the House this afternoon, to welcome the visiting delegation from Tengecha High School. Tengecha High School is one of the top performing schools in our County. I hope they will get full value of the time that they took out of school to come and interact with Members. I have watched them and seen that they are patiently and keenly following the discussions in the House this afternoon. I did not know that they were from my county. I am, however, proud of them for the journey they have traveled in making this institution a great one. I wish them well for the remainder of the day and even as they travel back home to Kericho. I will step out briefly to meet them and share one or two things. Lastly, I would like to welcome the visiting delegation from the Parliament of Ghana. Our staff in Parliament rank among the very best you can find globally. I say this because I have served as the Chairperson of the Staff Welfare Committee. I know the dedication and competence of our staff. Each year, we receive delegations from across the globe who come to interact, learn, share knowledge and transfer skills from various parliaments around the world. I, therefore, hope that this delegation will receive nothing less than the opportunity to interact, learn and share knowledge together with our staff. I wish them well for the remainder of their time here in Kenya and as they travel back home. I thank you."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Motion that is before us. The Constitution of Kenya in Article 202 states that revenue will be raised nationally and shared between the two levels of Government; the national and the county governments. One of the problems I have identified since joining this Senate is that the National Treasury seems to advocate only for the national Government and, in many ways, does not consider the county governments as part and parcel of it. It is time we seriously consider how the Senate can pass legislation in our capacity as protectors of the counties, to create a separate treasury or a division within the National Treasury specifically dedicated to serving the county governments.
