    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think that is because the hon. Member was not here at the beginning when I explained how this amount has been arrived at. First of all, the Constitution gives phased approach to county governments for three years. The figures I have mentioned were given to us by the Transition Authority. I explained very clearly that at the beginning of this Financial Year when we made the Budget, county governments were not in existence. So, they could not have been allocated money. So, money was allocated to the Ministries. We want to make sure that on 5th March, the Governors have enough money for their salaries, those of their deputies, plus staff, vehicles, fuel, operations and salaries for the county representatives. Actually, what the hon. Member is saying will come out very clearly in the Division of Revenue Bill because it explains exactly how much money has been allocated to the counties. It is even more than 15 per cent that is"
