    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this very important Bill, arising out of the need to have proper shares of revenue between the national and county governments. We have had opportunity to look at this Bill in depth at Committees and in Cabinet. It has been subjected to a lot of participatory interactions with the various stakeholders. As hon. Members would be aware, the Commission on Revenue Allocation was the very first one to have been appointed and passed by this House. So, this Bill is really ratifying and giving effect to what this House did in terms of the appointment of the Commission. The Bill captures all the steps that we took and further defines how the Commission will move on to the future. The Bill also deals with some of the issues they need to address in their day-to-day performance of the important functions that we have given them, as a Commission. So, when one looks at it in many ways, this is coming when we have already done the job. So, we have had the benefit of the experience in the appointment of the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA). We have seen them working and now we hope with this law, we will hold them to account for all their actions in accordance with the law."
