    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. First of all, allocation of revenue is a very important process. The Senate plays a final role. We are like in the summit of the structure of the entities that play a role in allocation of revenue. There is something very critical in this country that we rarely put into consideration. When you are dealing with matters of allocation of revenue and you are sharing with various entities in the country and various lower levels of Government, the most critical and most important institution is the institution called the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). That institution has not received the necessary attention from economists, scholars, legislators and Senators like us because that entity already predetermines what a county government can get. It already predetermines what poverty index we have in the country to what extent a particular place is poor and the population of a particular area. We share money using a formula or a census that was taken ten years ago. In ten years, a population of a particular county would have changed because more people might have left Siaya County or Elgeyo-Marakwet County to come to Nairobi. More 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."
