    "content": "Every mediated Bill is a question of give and take. I must even thank the Senators who had otherwise taken a very intransigent position of standing with governors to ask for Ksh400 billion. I must thank them for eventually seeing the light and appreciating that resources are not there as much as we all desire of giving even beyond Ksh400 billion shillings to our counties. Since we all live in this country, we know what happened with the loss of the Finance Bill. The projected revenues are not the same as at the time the first Division of Revenue Bill was being done. Allocations had to be reviewed downwards because of the loss of the Finance Bill of 2024/2025. In that give and take spirit, I thank the Senate together with the Council of Governors (CoG). I know they may not be very satisfied with the figure of Ksh387.425 billion going to counties but it is a great improvement. This now constitutes 24.67 per cent, almost 25 per cent, of the last audited accounts. I think they are audited accounts of the year 2021. Progressively, it tells you that the money going to our county governments is increasing every year. Indeed, it was the spirit of this House and the Government to give our counties Ksh400 billion. You remember we had a similar significant increase in shareable revenue going to our counties during the year 2020/2021. We increased county shareable revenue by Ksh50 billion in one"
