    "content": "sharing of 70 per cent at the national level, 20 per cent at the county level and 10 per cent at the community level which is different from what the Bill has recommended. However, we feel that we only have a 10 per cent difference. It is possible that once we have a distributive framework, we can make it work. This is because as the Mining Bill 2014 stands, it does not offer a formula as to how the redistribution will be done to the community and to the county. It only gives an allocation of how much there is, but how it will be distributed has not been put in place. We need, therefore, to find a way and mechanism to ensure that when the money is in the kitty, whichever kitty, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will be in charge. The Bill proposes collecting and consolidating these figures; that once the money is within this one particular kitty, then we need to agree across all the sectoral interests what proportions will be put at the different factions at the community, county and the national levels to ensure that communities gain from what is expected of them. With that, we need to be very clear that this is not a Money Bill. In this Bill, we are not talking about the appropriation of funds and how that appropriation needs to be done. However, we are just giving a formula for redistribution that we believe will change counties and communities for ever. I beg to move that this Bill goes into the Second Reading. I would like to request Sen. Murkomen to second this Bill."
