    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank Senator Zani who is also the Deputy Secretary-General of my party for this very important Bill. This Bill could not have been timelier because it deals with structuring and collection of revenue by counties. Eight years now since the beginning of devolution, we have not structured collection of revenue. Today the Senate is debating the revenue sharing formula. However, the focus still remains on revenue that is coming from the national Government to the counties. There is no focus on own source revenue by the counties. How are they collecting and spending it? The biggest concern is that after devolution, even if you compare revenues with those of the previous county councils, the county councils were collecting more revenue than what the counties are collecting today. So, is it that they were collecting more then or we are declaring less today?"
