    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have had the necessary consultation and I wish to have this read as follows: THAT, aware that Article 202 of the Constitution provides that revenue raised nationally shall be shared equitably among the national and county governments; further aware that Articles 203 and 204 provide criteria for determining the equitable share and use of Equalization Fund respectively; concerned that the last National Poverty Survey that was used to determine poverty levels in different constituencies was undertaken in 2005 and the reliability of the results challenged in different fora; further concerned that the National Revenue Allocation Commission will face serious challenges in discharging its functions unless a new and credible national poverty survey is taken before the operationalization of county governments; this House urges the Government to allocate adequate financial resources for conducting the said survey at ward, constituency, and county levels before the end of 2011/2012 Financial Year."
