    "content": "I would like to comment in support of the Bill. One, for obvious reasons, the object and purpose of this Bill is to divide the revenue between the National and County governments. I want to believe that the drafters of this Bill took into consideration a number of factors one amongst them being the functions of the National Government vis-a-vis the county governments. That takes me to my second observation. Hon. Members will agree with me that it is the first time that we are devolving resources. This is new and it is more of an experimental venture and my appeal is that let us approve the Bill and the figures as provided. Let us exercise our oversight role to see how the county governments are going to appropriate and utilize these resources effectively and efficiently. By the end of the financial year, I am sure we are going to see a very big variation in the figures that will be presented to this House. We will be able to build weaknesses and also our strengths and improve on these figures."
