    "content": "Report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, on 13th July, 2020, on the revenue allocation formula, and the concerns that were raised by colleagues on the proposed formula, efforts were made, through the intervention of the Senate Leadership, by constituting a team of Senators from both sides, to address these concerns. Unfortunately, following from the debate of this Motion which commenced on Tuesday, 28th July, 2020, and which is scheduled to resume today, we Senators, are still grappling on this matter. I continue to urge my fellow colleague Senators, that as we resume the debate today, we need to proceed with patience, understanding and objectivity, as the matter is undoubtedly weighty. Ultimately, Mr. Speaker Sir, as the House of Parliament mandated with protection of the interests of counties and their governments as stated at Article 96 of the Constitution, we want what is best for not only our individual counties, but all counties collectively. A resolution on this matter will then pave way for consideration of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. Mr. Speaker, I thank you and hereby lay the statement on the Table of the House."
