    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as Members, we have received a document on our desks also relating to the sharable revenue allocated to county governments. This is a communication from the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) and it has about five items, some of which are as follows: It states the sharable revenue allocated to county governments in the Financial Year 2014/2015. Then it gives recommended CRA ceilings for the county executives and also recommends CRA ceilings for county assemblies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is now in the public domain; in fact, many people think that the Senate is meeting today to discuss the ceilings to the county assemblies and the county governments regarding the revenues allocated to them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like clarification from the Chair as to whether what we are discussing today is the amendment from the National Assembly on the Bill which we passed in the Senate or whether we have come here to discuss the ceilings which have been recommended by the CRA to the county governments and the county assemblies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very hot issue and there are a lot of misleading stories going on out there that, indeed, the Senate has fixed ceilings for expenditure by county assemblies and county governments. So, we need a clarification so that we know how to approach this debate. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
