Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill. First of all, I want to thank both the National Assembly and the Senate. We have moved a step further despite the challenges. We have gone through mediation which is something positive. We hope and believe that come next year we want to see both Houses moving through this without going through mediation.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important to note that some of the journalists have requested the Senate to give them space to sit because they are saying that where the KBC crew sit, they are not allowed to go there. The other question they raised is that they have been given very limited space in a room that sometimes becomes very hot and they cannot sit there. They also requested that we look at our security which sometimes blocks them from coming in. I agree with your ruling that we deal with this The electronic version of the ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to remind the hon. Senators that if we go the route of looking at projects and indicating where they are, we will be putting this country again into a very sensitive dilemma? Would I be in order also to ask my Senator from Kakamega to tell us whether the railway line from Mombasa to Nairobi does not pass in other regions that are not for the President and Deputy President?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support the amendments knowing that we shall agree to bring the percentage to 46. As I say that, I know each county has its own challenges and achievements. When you look at the report of the Controller of Budget, you will find that most governors have budgeted in a way that they will be able to consume 40 per cent going up. It is very unfortunate that indeed as my colleagues have said, we need to ask ourselves about the money that has been decentralized. The lowest constituency will be getting Kshs95 million ...
