    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your permission, if you could just allow me two or three minutes because the Speaker had actually made a ruling that it was a mistake to refer this Bill in the first place to the Senate. Since then I have heard Senators insisting that they have a role to play in this Bill. I have equally read on the newspapers an advert put up by the Speaker of the Senate and with all due respect, I have a feeling that probably the Speaker to the Senate did not read what my concerns were and so he did not address any of my concerns. This is what I want to say. If you read Article 95(4) of the Constitution, it is very clear that the National Assembly has a responsibility to determine the allocation of national revenue between the levels of governments as provided in Part 4 of Chapter 12, that is, the national Government and the county government. Article 96 talks about the role of the Senate. It is clear that the Senate determines the allocation of national revenue amongst counties. That has to do with the County Allocation of Revenue Bill as provided for in Article 217. There is nowhere indicated that the Division of Revenue Bill shall be a function of the Senate. However, more telling, and that is where I want the ruling of the Chair is Article 110. Under this Article-- - Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish the Clerk would allow you to listen to me. This is because I will require your ruling."
