    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to congratulate the House for adopting the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill. This is the most important Bill for the Senate because it is about sharing revenue between the two levels of Government. It is one of the core mandates of this House. We have made our point. This House must play a role in the determination of the revenue that goes to the counties. As much as possible, the Executive, at every level, must appreciate the role of both Houses in the process of determining how much money goes to our counties. I think that opportunity to leave matters to the two Houses to determine would have been the best way. Today, we would not have actually come this far if that opportunity was not left to the two Houses to determine. This is because the Constitution is very clear that, that revenue must be shared out by Parliament. This is a great day and I want to thank the Mediation team for the good job that they have done. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
