    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason some of us are very concerned is because you will remember that when we had discussions on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the Chairman, on behalf of the Committee, moved the Bill containing provisions that suggested that ceilings proposed by the CRA were to be final. I remember that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, myself and others proposed amendments that sailed through to say that CRA were only going to make recommendations to this House. This House would then sit down, consider the recommendations and make them final. As far as I am concerned, we never sat in this House - other than the leaflets that were mentioned by Sen. Murungi - to discuss budget ceilings. It is important, therefore, that the Chairperson, knowing that he had made that kind of a proposal in the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, it could be that he is still working with the mentality that, actually, that provision passed and that the proposed ceilings by CRA are final. It is important to know that we did not discuss that."
