    "content": "I also want to talk about Clause 17. Again, I think one of the issues that I would want to highlight are areas that might bring conflict between national and county governments. If you look at Clause 17(5), (6), (7) and (8) it takes away even the role of revenue authorities that have been set up; the budgetary body, the revenue authority that has been set up and we are giving it to this new committee that we are setting up here. Therefore, what I am urging is that we make certain amendments that make it very clear what the role of the Revenue Allocation Commission (RAC) is. For me, actually, this is a very dangerous clause that would ensure that the national government has gained a backdoor way of controlling national funds. The Constitution is very clear and so, let us not set ourselves up for going into court with constitutional cases when we know that the Constitution has given us very clear directions about how to handle some of these issues."
