For those who may not know, we joined the banking employment together 19 years ago. Therefore, I have a lot of confidence in his leadership. I want to assure Hon. Members that he is a man of his word and will do a fantastic job in terms of equalisation and looking at the whole country. So, congratulations, Hon. Atandi. We will continue to support you and the Committee for the fantastic work you are doing."

"content": "This is one of the Bills we consider extremely important. This is because, in line with Articles 202, 203, 205, and 218 of the Constitution, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that we are making the process of revenue division a smooth process. This applies not only to the national Government but also to county governments. For county governments, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, famously known as the CARB, is a very important component of the county government. Having worked in the county assembly during the previous term, I can confidently say that any delay in this process significantly affects county assemblies. Therefore, as the National Assembly, it is important that we dispense of with these matters as soon as possible so that it can assist them."

"content": "I have had an opportunity to engage with the Report of the Committee. One of the issues that I have picked that is very important is Clause No. 5 because it speaks about addressing the issues of shortfall, deficit or surplus in terms of revenue. However, when you analyse the trends in this country, shortfalls have been more of the norm than surplus. The Committee has ensured that we have a clause in law specifically speaking about how we will deal with this particular issue because it is very important."

I have reviewed some of the Committee's observations, and one key issue they highlight is the shortfall in revenue collection."
