"content": "We shall close the gap between the âhave county governmentsâ and the have--- Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to plead that this House becomes alive to the conservatives in the Treasury because they have this money in one pot. The only way our people shall excuse us is if this Parliament begins its work with a Bill of this importance. Therefore, let me say that it is not even for the Revenue Allocation Commission to do that because the Constitution has provided for the Legislature. So, our wish may be up to 50 per cent. I am happy that the Jubilee Government, which is setting up the offices promised in its manifesto and in their campaigns--- In its first Budget, 40 per cent will go to devolved governments. We want to see that next week. We will hold it up against your necks! Lastly, hon. Speaker, even though this is a good Bill, as far as the management--- It is not rightly before the House. We have not seen it in the House Business Committee. I know its importance and we shall accept it. But it is good for us to agree procedurally"
