    "content": "More importantly, any revenue raising measures contained in the financial year 2021/2022 Finance Bill shall also be earmarked to fund the aforementioned priority areas. Hon. Speaker, we had long deliberations. Moving from Kshs240 billion requests from the various departmental committees to Kshs45 billion was a lot of concession. So, we also put it as part of the wish list. THAT, county governments be allocated Kshs409.88 billion. This is a great improvement from the last financial year. Of course, the county government equitable share shall be Kshs370 billion moving from the current Kshs316 billion. THAT, the allocation of the Equalization Fund at Kshs6.8 billion be approved as provided in the Budget Policy Statement. THAT, once approved by this House, these recommendations together with Schedules 1 and II attached, shall form the basis for the Financial Year 2021/2022 Budget. I retaliate again that the BPS should inform the Budget Estimates of Financial Year 2021/2022. We do not want to see a situation where there is a total difference between the BPS and the Annual Estimates."
