    "content": "Finally, I want to revisit the issue of how much goes to the county. I think this country needs to get the full detail of these things. The issue of Kshs210 billion and Kshs258 billion---This is why sometimes I see dishonesty from the Senate, and with all due respect to the Senate, they are talking about the Kshs258 billion like it is a figure they have objectively derived from somewhere. The truth of the matter is that the Kshs258 billion is not new. This figure was arrived at by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). The Kshs238 billion was unconditional or sharable amount to be devolved while Kshs20 billion was conditional grant. What happened is that the CRA had a meeting with the Treasury, and that is what we were informed as a House, because we were also aware of the Kshs258 billion. We were informed that they arrived at the figure in that meeting which was consultative. This is because initially, the Treasury had provided Kshs175 billion and the CRA had indicated Kshs238 billion sharable. They arrived at a figure of Kshs190 billion."
