    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My names are Hon. Francis Kigo Njenga, the Member for Gatundu North. I want to support this Bill with reasons. First, revenue allocation requires clarity, and clarity has to be sought. When I went through this Bill, I found that the national Government takes about Kshs720 billion. Reconciling that is the Fourth Schedule which is attached to the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, I find clarity of purpose. I have heard hon. Members talk about roads being constructed and I can see the trunk roads that go to the Central Government. I can also see the county roads that go to the counties. In a country with scarce resources, getting Kshs198 billion and leaving Kshs720 billion to the national Government, there is clarity of purpose. The Revenue Allocation Bill in this House is in good spirit."
