    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to the Division of Revenue Bill. First, I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for their commitment to the responsibility at hand. In the recent past, we saw this Committee bring two or three reports to this House. We know how much time a committee has to put in to come up with a report. So, I want to appreciate that the membership of the Committee has done an excellent job. Division of Revenue is basically when you divide money between the national and the county governments. I want to point out that almost every year since I was first elected in 2013, we have had mediation between the National Assembly and the Senate because almost every year when we pass the Division of Revenue Bill, it differs from what the Senate passes. Every time we end up going through a mediation process. I want to thank God that every meditation process has succeeded. However, it is important we ask ourselves what would happen in the event that there is a collapse of that mediation. As the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee are coming up with their report, it is very important for them to consult. They should get the views of the Senate, so that we do not have to go through the route of mediation every year because anything can happen."
