    "content": "ruling. This is a ruling that will stand the test of time. I do not want to talk about the issue in the Senate regarding the new formula because that is political and it seems to have taken a direction that I do not want to dwell on now, especially given that we are trying to look for a solution to this problem. Hon. Speaker, I want to note that the Leader of Majority Party and I will engage with the Senate. I think the route of engaging the Senate with a view to passing the amendments to the Public Finance Management Act that is before the Senate is the shortest and easier route. We will even agree with them that they should bring an amendment so that they do not pass it without amendment. It will put us in a situation where we need to capture the issue of the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA). Hon. Kimunya and I will make sure that we engage with the two leaders of the Senate, so that in the event that they are not going to succeed in passing the formula today – even if they pass the formula today, this matter may recur five years from today – we agree that they capture the element that we had not foreseen. The amendment Bill that went to the Senate only addressed itself to division of revenue."
