    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me begin by thanking Members of this House for the vigorous debate that we had yesterday up to 9.00 p.m., when Members stayed behind to discuss the Division of Revenue Bill. Out of the discussions of yesterday and part of today’s Sitting, I have come up with three fundamental issues that were raised by Members, and that we will need to look at as a Committee. The first issue which came out prominently is the pending bills in counties. Pending bills in counties are mostly caused by failure by counties to meet their own source revenues. This is something that is affecting the performance of counties. I want to urge county governments to ensure that, as the national Government seeks to meet its own revenue projections, they should equally seek to meet their own source revenues as projected. The other issue that came out was the fact that, as a House, we are lagging behind in approving our audited accounts. However, as you are aware, the Auditor-General’s approved 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."
