Looking at the salaries provided by the SRC, which the Treasury is going by and knowing that those salaries are rather low to allow devolution to work, I would be minded to go with the CRA figures. The Commission on Revenue Allocation had a task to go through inter-county and intra- county allocations. If we have dispute between the figures supplied by the Treasury and those supplied by the Commission on Revenue Allocation and we do not have the benefit of hearing the two sides, I would urge that if we make an error, we err going with the CRA figures. This is because those figures will better support devolution in terms of the salaries and remunerations at the level at which we want to set the counties, allow talents and the assemblies to work. In terms of the independence of the assemblies, I would also urge that the figures given to the county executives and assemblies should not be merged, so that the county assemblies can continue to have their own independence even at the county level. I support the Bill with those amendments."
