    "content": "I would like to look at what our Jubilee people have been saying. It is a bigger gesture over and above the specification of the Constitution. For this allocated figures, look at the unconditional allocation to counties; the letter of the Constitution says that you look at the last audited accounts. On that score it is correct; it is actually 25.5 per cent, but if you look at the spirit of devolution, the letter is correct; we have to base our budgeting on audited accounts. But if you look at the spirit of the Constitution and devolution, it is 15 per cent of audited revenues and we should base this specifically on sharable revenue for this year. So, on that score politically, and in the spirit of the Constitution, you only manage to give unconditional discretionary revenue to the counties at 16 per cent. Indeed, you even failed to meet the threshold on the EF because on sharable revenue for this year, you only managed to give 0.3 per cent. So, politically, do not gloat over being pro-devolution. You are not servicing devolution as much as you claim to be doing it."
