    "content": "In theory, we are giving the counties more than 15 per cent - which is in the Constitution - but in practice, we are giving them less money. So, this is a matter that has to be determined once and for all. Indeed, I am happy that in the forthcoming referendum, we may get an opportunity to, once and for all, determine that the county governments be allocated a specific percentage against the latest revenues of accounts which, in this case, should have been for the 2013/2014 Financial Year. I want to conclude, of course, by supporting this Report really, because I have no choice. If we delay approving this Report, the issue of revenue Bill will be a problem. The Allocation of County Revenue Bill will be in problems. Therefore, we need to make the country move forward. My appeal is that when the time comes, we must make a determination once and for all and allocate the counties moneys that are enough for them to run their functions. That is not less that 40 per cent of the latest account of revenues. With those very many remarks, I wish to support."
