    "content": "commerce has no feeling. It has sense only. You either do the right thing or you fail. It does not matter the intention or how emotional you are about it. If at the end of the day you are not managing your resources prudently as a county government, the results will show very quickly. I want to request our colleagues to reflect deeply on this particular matter as we think about division of revenue and the things that we need to do. The final part of this is that, the Sixth Schedule allocates a total of Kshs2.835 trillion as follows – national Government remains with Kshs2.4 trillion, Equalisation fund gets Kshs10 billion and Kshs405 billion to county governments. I know the Committee on Finance and Budget has thought through this process. They have proposed an even higher figure. As the Vice-Chair comes to second, I am sure she will speak to the House and tell us what is her proposal before we eventually agree with them or see what to do. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, knowing that this is something that many colleagues want to comment on and share their thoughts, particularly on all these issues that continue to face our county governments, it would be unfair for me not to yield the floor so that colleagues can speak to this particular Bill. I am guided by the report that was tabled by the Committee on Finance and Budget, which I want to believe by now, has been shared with us in the official channels of the House. Mr. Deputey Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to move and request Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, who is the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget of the Senate, to second and take us home with regards to the 2025 Division of Revenue Bill. I thank you."
