    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Chairperson, Sir. I rise to move the following amendment. THAT, the new Clause 11 be amended by deleting the word “set” appearing on the third line of the new paragraph 29(A) and substituting therefor the words “recommend to the Senate.” Mr. Chairperson, Sir, the import of this particular amendment are only two things; the first one is that we give recognition to the role of the Senate; that the real final decision on such crucial matter should seek concurrence of this Senate. The second aspect is that we do not want at any time to allow the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA), which has no law making role under the Constitution to be seen to be setting this particular function, which would be in direct disagreement with the provision of Article 216 in the Constitution, which provides that:- “The Commission shall also make recommendations on other matters concerning the financing of and the financial management by county governments as required by this Constitution and national legislation.” It does not say the Commission “shall set.” Mr. Chairperson. Sir, I beg to move."
