Aukot says that the move will reduce the cost of running Parliament from Ksh36.8 billion to Ksh5 billion per year.

The former Presidential aspirant also proposes elevation of theย Senate to be an Upper House with veto powers, increase counties revenue share to 35 per cent from the current 15 per cent and use the ward as a unit of development replacing CDF programmes.
