    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I support the further amendment because that would ensure that the counties get what will enable them to operate. Mr. Chairman, Sir, we had earlier seen that what the counties will be getting is about 22 per cent. Basing it on the 2009/2010, I see a danger or constitutional crisis when the figures are audited and it is shown that, in fact, they were much higher. We might end up in a situation where the counties were actually given less than 15 per cent. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the figures that were declared by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Treasury, this is a constitutional requirement that if the amount will go up, then the difference will be shared with the counties. I also see a danger where the national Government, at some point, will owe a lot of money to the county governments, which it might not be able to share."
