    "content": "mechanism for deciding what value there is for money? The Consolidated Fund has that mechanism. The Public Finance Management Act is supposed to be amended by inserting a new section 42 to provide that Parliament shall consider the Division of Revenue Bill, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and the Bill for allocation and transfer of conditional and non-conditional grants under Article 202 of the Constitution no later than 30 days after the Bills have been introduced. I understand the first one on the Division of Revenue Bill, but where do the conditional grants come in? They are a bane. We do not understand them and that has been a big problem between this House and the Senate. The Leader of the Majority Party understands more than I do. Should we not send the Bill back to the Senate and tell them that we do not understand exactly what they want? The Bill does not state exactly what they want. The Senate is saying that it wants to give an exemption so that the conditional grants do not go through the Consolidated Fund. Who will decide? What are the mechanisms for looking after that money? One of my colleagues has also raised serious concerns. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not support this Bill."
