    "content": "we did not have a Committee to receive the input from both the public, Treasury and the CRA. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is, therefore, upon this House to make the best out of what we have before us, so that we get the right revenue sharing formula between the two levels of Government. Of course, without the input from CRA--- I must congratulate the National Treasury for having tried their best to come up with this Bill that shows the revenues to be allocated between the two levels of Government. Since this is the first time that this is going to be undertaken, I urge that we approach the issue with sobriety, so that we know how county governments will take off, and also how the National Government will be left to do the job as is given to it in Schedule Four of the Constitution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, a lot of the work that will be done by the county government will also be done by the National Government. We should not think that after giving adequate amounts to county governments, we will leave the National Government with the responsibility to develop major projects that are listed in Schedule Four of the Constitution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, a lot of issues have been raised by hon. Members who have alluded to amendments that are going to be put forward. Personally, I will support the amendments that are actually alluded to raise the level of money to country governments from the current level to Kshs230 billion. This is because we cannot start with less money than is recommended by the CRA, otherwise, we will start on a wrong footing and our county governments will fail to function."
