"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 120(1)(c), this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Division of Revenue Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 14 of 2024), from seven days to four days. The Division of Revenue Bill is a very important Bill that unlocks debate and preparations for budgets both in the National Assembly and the county assemblies. Therefore, if we wait for the stipulated number of days, it will inconvenience very many institutions, including the National Treasury and the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in the preparation of the budget. We also want the county governments to start the preparations of their budgets. This Bill will give them the opportunity to do so. Therefore, we request this House to approve the reduction of the publication period of this Bill from seven days to four days. It will be read the First Time this week. Subsequently, we will start the Second Reading and debate it, so that we unlock the monies that are supposed to go to the counties. The Division of Revenue Bill is a very important piece of legislation in the budget- making process. Therefore, we request this House to approve the reduction of the publication period from seven to four days, so that we can start the budget-making process. I would like to request Hon. Bowen Kangogo, who is serving a third term, to second this Motion. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second the Motion on the reduction of publication period of the Division of Revenue Bill from seven days to four days. Many of our counties are now struggling to even pay employees because of lack of funds. Reduction of the publication period from seven days to four days will help us to fast- track this Bill and make sure that we are done with it before we present it to the Senate, so that the resources that are needed by our counties can be disbursed. There is also a second issue. It is very important to reduce the publication period of this Bill to four days, so that we can go through all the legislative processes and finish them on time."
