    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to second the Division of Revenue Bill that is on the Floor of this House. This is the first such Bill that this Senate is dealing with since the promulgation of the new Constitution in 2010. It is a very important Bill because it lays the precedent for the future allocation of revenue between the national Government and the counties. This is one of the most important roles of the counties. Indeed, in the Constitution, the single most important role of the Senate is to protect the interests of the counties. There is no greater way of protecting the interests of the counties than to review this Bill thoroughly and pass it, taking into consideration the interests of the counties. This Bill is, indeed, the lifeline of the counties because it is the one that provides the revenue. For most counties, the total revenue that they can generate is the national revenue that is being shared out by the national Government. 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."
