    "content": "governments, they have not received the allocation of the share of revenue due to the county level of government as prescribed in the Division of Revenue Act. The reason why counties have not received the money to operate is because the Senate has not produced the County Allocation of Revenue Bill which permits the Controller of Budget to fund the counties. The counties also cannot prepare their budgets which need to be prepared by the end of this month because in preparation of the budgets, as the Constitution states they need to put estimates of revenue and estimates of expenditure and they cannot estimate how much they are going to get. This House has been accused of stifling devolution whereas the single reason why counties cannot move is because no single county has received or can receive money without that Bill which we would like to know where it is. The Senate has not prepared the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I, therefore, seek leave of this House pursuant to this Standing Order No.33(1) to discuss this matter with a view of getting a way forward because this House believes in devolution and we need to get the counties moving. We need to ensure that county governments are enabled to provide services to the people of this country and, therefore, I seek leave to adjourn the House."
