    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill, which comes after the horizontal distribution of resources that we did a few weeks ago. I listened to the comments of the Mover and the Seconder of this Bill on the debate we had before this House and in other places, including in public barazas, funerals and rallies. This is testament to the work of the Senate and how important it is, particularly this and the Division of Revenue Bills. Once we have shared resources between the national and the county Governments, we proceed to share amongst the 47 devolved units via the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I congratulate the Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget who have taken time, worked diligently and presented a report before this House. I will refer to it most of the time in the submission I am making on what I think about this Bill and the findings that have been made by this Committee. I have said many times that I value and respect the work of every Committee of this House. Unfortunately, because of having served the longest in my career in this House in the Committee on Finance and Budget, I take a lot of interest and follow keenly the work they do. This is why when Sen. Ali Roba was moving this Bill – although I was out of the House when it began – I quickly dashed in to listen to him. I grabbed a copy of the report to acquaint myself with the thoughts of the new colleagues on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, perhaps from a different eye."
