Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must insist that each county government must do an allocation in their budget that is aligned to the formula of revenue allocation that this House passed. People are talking of one-man-one-shilling, one-man- one-kilometre, or one-man-one-vote. This is already there in the formula that this House passed. What we need to see is greater alignment to that formula. We say that a certain percentage must go to help---

This is about county governments and not the Kenya Kwanza Government or Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party. I hope that the way we stood up when we came up with the formula for revenue allocation will be the same that the Senate will in order to be counted. Where the Council of Governors (CoG) failed at the IBEC and the National Assembly ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Nandi, who was the powerful Chair for Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, has obviously not read the Constitution. Is he in order to mislead this House that disaster management is a function of county governments and that the national Government can only come in to assist when, in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, function No. 24, the functions assigned to the national Government is disaster management? Where a function is shared between the national and county governments, then the national Government takes the lead. It sets the policy and the structures for ...
