"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have two general comments. The first one is that we have to carry the country with us. There is so much arrogance amongst governors. They think that this money can just find its way in the county revenue fund without the legislation that we are doing right now. We want the people, to whom lies are sold by these governors, to hear what we are doing this afternoon. They should know that in the Financial Year 2024/2025, there was a balance when we shared money between the national Government and the county governments. It is that money that the Senators have been pushing the national Government to add to the counties. It is called an additional money from shareable revenue of the government."

They are proceeds of payments made at our local courts. The members of the public should also know this Bill ensures that counties that mine various minerals get royalties through their governors."

That is the first general comment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I must apologize because we want to pass this quickly because we have run out of time. We are not doing that because this Bill is not important. We are also doing that because governors and Members of the National Assembly have taken each other to court. We were forced to remove an amount meant for the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy from this Bill. Otherwise, we would not have realized it this financial year."

"content": "We have come to the end of the financial year and we have left that out. We are now releasing this money. I want to appeal to governors and the Members of the National Assembly (MPs) in our counties. When it comes to sharing contracts and tenders, governors and MPs are friends. When it comes to hurling insults at the Senators, the governors and MPs are always friends. However, when it comes to people's issue where Kshs10.5 billion is to be released to maintain roads in our counties, we suddenly see that the governors and MPs do not want to agree. The President of the Republic of Kenya who is also the party leader of UDA has a strong 158 MPs. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga, former Prime Minister, has another 88 MPs in that National Assembly. What stops the two of them, having agreed at the top about broad-based Government, from whipping the MPs to withdraw the little cases they have in court that delays the members of the public from enjoying good feeder roads? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not get to the specifics of this Bill. Arising from what I have said above, I want the people of Kakamega County to know that Fernandes Barasa will receive Kshs711,709,892 because of this industry. I want to inform the doctors of Kakamega County, who are owed salary arrears, that in this Bill, there is Kshs44,529,977. The doctors of Kakamega County should expect Hon. Barasa to pay them these millions next week. If he does not do so, I will lead them to the office of the Governor. We will throw him out until he has paid them. That is when he will understand that we are not playing games in Nairobi. I also want to appeal for calm amongst the Community Health Promoters (CHP) of Kakamega County. In this Bill, we have brought home Kshs127,500,000. I am appealing to all the CHPs in Likuyani, Lugari, Malava, Navakholo, Shinyalu, Ikolomani, Lurambi, Mumias East, Matungu, Mumias West, Butere and Khwisero. I want them to take the nearest boda boda, next week, and go to the Governor's Office. They will find me there. He must pay them this money."

He is casting aspersions on the person of the Governor of Kakamega County. I do not think that is right because there are no accusations levelled against that Governor in this House to warrant such blatant attack and violation of our Standing Orders. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
