    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the past one year, we have had an opportunity to see how the county governments operate and funds have been transferred literally on monthly basis from the Treasury to the county governments. We have also seen the reports on how these funds are being utilized. So, I think that we have a pretty good experience of what is happening now in the counties. So, this Bill, in essence, really looks at what needs to go out to individual counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the one thing that I would like to mention from the outset is that the criteria or formula that is used for allocation of revenue is the one that was developed by the Commission on Revenue Allocation before the Senate came into being. The formula looks at a number of criteria including population, poverty, area and so forth. That formula which has been developed by the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) is coming up for review this year. I want to remind hon. Senators that in the next financial year, we are required to have a new formula. The CRA has already started the process of collecting views with regard to change of the formula for distribution of revenue among counties."
