    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the point that the distinguished Senator for Meru is raising is important, but it must be looked at in a much broader context. It is an open secret now that the question of the so-called ceilings is part of the gymnastics and sweeteners being offered to the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) by certain people to lure them away from the referendum. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you even must have seen some leaders on television alleging that they are going to remove ceilings, which were not there in the first place, to hoodwink MCAs to believe that by standing against the referendum, they will get these sweeteners and goodies, so that the referendum can fail. Those tricks will not work. I do not want us to flog a non-issue. There are no ceilings in this Bill; there was only a recommendation that the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) to recommend ceilings with the approval of the Senate. We are not approving anything. We are only dealing with a date. 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."
