    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a statement was given here about a month ago, by my colleague, the Chair of the Committee on Devolved Government. Based on that statement, the hon. Senator was referred to a report by the CRA which sets out clearly the criterion used for determining the marginalised counties. The hon. Senator then sought the guidance of the Speaker on the case of his county, No.15, and what could be done. That is what I have responded to. We have agreed - even in discussions with the CRA - that even if this issue will be reviewed after every three years, then parameters for determining the County Allocation of Revenue and the ones for determining marginalised areas should also be reviewed by the Senate next year because this year, that is not practicable. Next year, when that is reviewed, there is a good chance that his county will be included. Yes, that should be put in writing but, really, it is the position. My co- Chair of the Committee on Devolved Government would like to add something in that respect."
