    "content": "When it comes to allocation of revenue, I would have thought that Members of the Senate would be the first to support proposals particularly from the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) based on the rationale which was given to us here. However, we opposed it and I do not want the debate to open again. I hope that we shall not continue with the same trend of not supporting the county governments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also saw something which happened last time which I would not like to see repeated. There was a situation where a Chairman of a Committee - I do not want to say which Committee - came here in the morning, presented to us a detailed report of a committee which they had worked on for more than three months. We stood up and contributed and supported the Chairman, and then in the afternoon, the same Chairman comes here and withdraws the same report, which was not his report. It was a report of a committee. Perhaps we shall improve and we shall not see such a situation again. Otherwise, I support the Membership of the Committee which has been proposed here and I wish everybody very successful deliberations in this new Session. Thank you."
