    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this amendment by Sen. Orengo in the strongest terms. I want to remind my colleagues that the task we are undertaking today, that is, the passage of Division of Revenue Bill is one of the cardinal responsibilities of this House. We, as Senators, our main responsibility is to represent counties and protect their interest and the interest of their governments. It is our business to ensure that these county governments get enough resources, so that they can carry out the duties allocated to them. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the CRA is a constitutional commission that is strongly anchored in the Constitution. One of the duties is to advice this House on division of this revenue and they did so. We do not know where the figure of Kshs226 came from. There have been explanations here, but they have not been satisfactory to some of us. Let us go by the figure that we were given by a commission that is established by the Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
