"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a new Constitution. I think that is one of the greatest milestones that we have been able to achieve during the tenure of His Excellency the President. I am particularly happy about the fact that we have been able to come up with a devolved system of Government. We have 47 counties across the country. We did that in order to bring services and development closer to the people. We can begin devolving the growth of economy so that it grows from the bottom and not from the top. We can give counties a chance to just grow and create jobs at that level. My concern is the formula that was brought forth by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) on how resources will be distributed across the 47 counties. While we agreed that formula should take into consideration the population, land mass and poverty levels of an area, it is very important that the CRA does consider also what opportunities a particular county has in order to generate resources at the county level. What opportunities a county has in terms of revenue generation?"
