Considering that we are debating on the revenue sharing formula, and for us to conclude and vote, we need a substantial number in the House which we do not have, I request you, Hon. Temporary Speaker to call the Mover to reply. Thank you."

"content": " Correct! Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for protecting me from Hon. Jematiah, who cut me short. I was speaking to the issue of geographical size being used as a factor to determine revenue sharing. However, capping it at 10 per cent is unacceptable. What are we going to use this money for? The first question we need to ask is, why are we devolving resources by allocating them to the counties? We are devolving resources to develop every village in this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "country. For a village to have a tarmac road, it needs resources. If you do not consider the length of the road or the distance covered to get to available hospitals at the village level, what are you going to use this money for? I thought geographical size would have been the first factor to use to determine the sharing of resources so that those areas that are yet to be developed are developed. Some parts which this Bill favours, are already devolved since Independence. They have tarmac roads, tap water and hospitals. On the contrary, those areas that have been marginalised for quite a while and their geographical size is much bigger, which I believe do not have even a kilometre of tarmac road, have still, been marginalised in this revenue sharing Bill. With all those reservations, the amount allocated is way better than the previous years. Some people are still talking about corruption, yet it is everywhere. As Members of Parliament, we must stand against corruption in this country. It is upon us and the rest of Kenyans to stop it. We will not allow hard-earned money to go to waste. The national Government is getting 85 per cent of this revenue, while the marginalised areas are not even getting one per cent of it’s share. How do we make the marginalised counties that have a bigger geographical area and a population which was manipulated to be at par with the rest of the counties? With those few remarks, I thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity."
