Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is quite true and that is the reason why we need this recess, so that the Member can go to Sigor and tell his constituents that the Government is working. We must face these challenges boldly, so that we can allow the Government to look into the issue of interest rates. We know Kenyans are suffering. The Government should also look into the issues of the high cost of food and fuel. This is the right time when we can support the Committees of this House and make recommendations to the Government. By the time we ...

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion. I think the Committee wanted this House to approve it and instead of putting the word “approve”, they put the word “reject”.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to begin by thanking the Mover of this very important Motion, because this Motion has come at an opportune time.

The Constitution, as quoted by the Mover of the Motion, says that the national revenue should be shared equitably among the counties. Even as we debate this Motion, the national Government should always take the lion’s share of the national revenues because the national Government is responsible for national security, education and other areas of importance to the survival of our nation.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at Articles 203 and 204, you will appreciate that the Mover’s intent in bringing this Motion to the House is to ensure that the Constitution is followed to the letter. This is very critical. In 2006 and 2007, we had some areas which were seriously affected by drought but during the financial year, those constituencies were given a raw deal. If we had a credible survey like the one envisaged by this Motion, that situation would not have arisen. It is very important that we take this country seriously, so that every ...
