    "content": "We should not even be talking about the percentages. We should not even be saying that we give counties 20 per cent. We would like to see what informed the suggestion by the Commission on Revenue Allocation in deciding how much revenue we should give the national Government or the county governments. This should be based purely on functions that are devolved to the counties. Otherwise, this House would starve counties of revenue. When you talk of billions, they sound big, but when you go down to dividing those billions among the 47 counties, you will realize that to meet the recurrent expenditure of a county you require no less than Kshs3 billion. So, this is an eye opener. We have literally ten days and I would urge this House to have the Budget and Appropriations Committee in place. Without that Committee, this Bill will not find its way to this House in form of a report."
