    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want your indulgence and I want you to make the records straight. Article 205 of the Constitution - which I want to quote - requires the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to act as follows:- I want the Minister to hear me out. Article 205 (1) reads:- “(1) When a Bill that includes provisions dealing with the sharing of revenue, or any financial matter concerning county governments is published, the Commission on Revenue Allocation shall consider those provisions and may make recommendations to the National Assembly and the Senate. (2) Any recommendations made by the Commission shall be tabled in Parliament, and each House shall consider the recommendations before voting on the Bill”. This Minister is contravening that provision in Article 2005. I want to say how he is contravening Article 205 of the Constitution. One, the Bills the Minister has tabled in this House do not use the formula approved by the National Assembly, the formula by which county governments will share the resources of this country. So, even the Bills that he has put on the Table, the Bills that this House will discuss later in the day, are against the constitutional provision in Article 2005. Last week the bone of contention was on the Kshs6.8 billion by the Minister for Finance for the four months of March to June. That translates to 3.3 per cent which is far"
