    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was concluding by saying that in the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we had indicated in a clause that in case we budget for those monies and, by the close of the year the country does not realise those monies, the two levels of government were to share the shortfall proportionately. We can budget to have revenues of Ksh2 trillion but what would happen by all means if the country only raises only Ksh1 trillion? We are obligated, upon passing the Division of Revenue Bill, to give to the county governments the stipulated amount. What if our revenue-raising measures are so drastically down that they undermine even other areas like salaries? That is why in the context of the Committee, we thought of safeguarding the 15 per cent in terms of shortfall but, any shortfall over and above the 15 per cent, the two levels of government will share proportionately. I thank you."
