    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for accommodating me to contribute in support of the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill of 2024. As colleagues Members of Parliament have said, and as we are all aware, the unprecedented events that preceded the closure of last Financial Year, where the Finance Bill 2024 was rejected, put us in this situation. It is a unique situation that has never happened. We are probably writing a new story in the Parliament of Kenya where a situation like that has brought us to such discussions that probably would never have been predicted to happen. We are aware of the provisions of the Division of Revenue Act, Section 2, that says that where there is a shortfall on revenue collection, the national Government bears the loss and when there is... It is not a unique situation that is caused by national Government activity but rather, it is a process that was stopped by the rejection of the Finance Bill. It is the right time to speak to ourselves. What do we do in such a scenario? The reduction of what had been earlier provided for under the division of revenue and sharing of equitable resources as per the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya from Ksh410 billion to Ksh380 billion is something that has to be accepted by all quarters. I pray that the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
