    "content": "You know you are obviously out of order. The matter that the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has been dealing with is one which is governed by the provisions of the Constitution; specifically Article 113. I told some of you that you are on the last lap of the last leg. If you do not know what governs this, you must be in the wrong place. Hon. Members, the matter that the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has raised is a very serious matter; very grave. It is a matter--- If this House could walk down memory lane, you will recall that it has been raised in the past – as to whether or not it is conceivable that a Division of Revenue Bill can be defeated. It is because of what it portends to the counties. Indeed, it is for that reason that the Chairman, in his Statement, alluded to the fact that they were guided by the provisions of Article 201 of the Constitution at all times. But, being a Mediation Committee, they are governed by that Article 113. They have a maximum of 30 days within which to come up with an agreed version of a Bill. They have not been able to do that. Therefore, Article 114(4) comes into play that when a Mediation Committee is unable to agree on a mediated version of a Bill within 30 days, the Bill is defeated. But then, the question is - and I think that is why Hon. Mutava Musyimi has raised the issue for guidance - where then do we go from here? It is because counties prepare their budgets and budget estimates based on the Division of Revenue Act, duly passed, and the County Allocation of Revenue law.
