    "content": "think are small matters. This matter is entirely in our hands. My appeal was on fast- tracking. I was just raising that sense of urgency. Perhaps colleagues who joined the Senate in August might not be privy to the joking and all the lobbying that went into getting the County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2022. The definitions alone in this Bill took us a long time to move from “Conditional Grants” to “Additional Allocation”. I just want to encourage the Whips, the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader who sit in the SBC that they have the power and mandate to organize the business and whatever comes to this House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is not out of order for you as the Chair or for the SBC to tell the Committee on Finance and Budget that this is a matter of urgency. We shall have failed in our role as a Senate if the financial year comes to a close when the money has not gone to the counties or if some of the programmes expire before the money goes to the counties. As I finalize, I would like to bring it to the attention of the Majority Whip about three important Bills that this Senate processes. We have the Division of Revenue Bill, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, and now the County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill. We have successfully processed the first two. Regarding the third one, we have no excuse to the counties, the nation and the donors if we do not fast-track the County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill."
