But last week, we heard of a Division of Revenue Bill which was presented to the Senate. I got a copy of it and the only difference between that Bill and this Bill is only the signature of the person signing. I do not want to speak for the Senate.

The Speaker, in his wisdom, will send it as a Message to the Senate. The Senate will use that, just as the Treasury has used it, to prepare the County Allocation Revenue Bill, which originally would start from the Senate and then come to the National Assembly. I beg to move that the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014 (National Assembly Bill No 13 of 2014) be read a Second Time. The objective of this Bill is to provide an equitable division of revenue raised nationally between the two levels of Government; the national and the county governments, for the specific Financial Year, 2014/2015. This is pursuant to Article 201(b) of the Constitution which states:- “The public finance system shall promote an equitable society, and in particular-"
