"content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to add my voice to this very important discourse. I applaud the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for trying to change the conversation. We have always been talking about revenue sharing but we have never focused on revenue collection. So, this is a very important debate that our country is always in almost constitutional quagmire when it comes to revenue sharing between the national Government and county governments. We should not forget that the problem lies with the little resources we have and how we can enhance or grow them. The world is going techno savvy. Everywhere systems are automated. It is a paradox that we are talking about automating systems of revenue sharing. Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) is all about sharing revenue. We are very good at that. On channeling of resources, we have all the systems automated but when it comes to collection of the very revenue that we need, we are stuck. So, this is a very important conversation.
