    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader has repeatedly said that the Division of Revenue Bill is now an Act of Parliament. It is true that it is an Act of Parliament. I agree with him. If he believes in that, why has he come to the House with a theoretical suggestion instead of moving in line with that Act which provides that the money we will be sharing will be Kshs210 billion? Since members of the public may not be following this “financial English”, let me put it in an African English Language. If a father in the African sense negotiates for dowry for his daughter, then he dies before it is paid, when this dowry is eventually paid, what the sons share amongst themselves is not what the father agreed upon with the in-laws but what the in-laws brought. So, under the Act, the in-law has brought Kshs210 billion. Why are you limiting us to Kshs198 billion? Is this a scheme by the clever mathematicians of Jubilee Government towards the game of denying counties revenue?"
