    "content": "Articles 93(2), 96(3) of the Constitution relates to 218(1) (b) of the Constitution; therefore, the Senate determines the allocation of national revenue amongst counties. However, the Senate sought an advisory opinion from the Supreme Court on this matter and the substance of the Supreme Court opinion is well within the knowledge of the House. It is my hope that the fears that informed my previous findings on this matter will not come to pass as this may pose great disruptions to the budgetary process as envisaged in the Constitution. Finally, listening to the debate on the Motion yesterday, it became apparent that prior consultations had taken place at various forums on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014, and the agreements reached at these consultations informed the content of the Bill as originally published, amended and passed by the National Assembly. It is my hope that the Mediation Committee will build up on this consensus at the earliest possible opportunity, so as to put the budgetary process for the county governments into focus. I thank you."
