    "content": "I have noticed that pending bills are accumulating in the county governments because tenders, which are the basis of their expenditure, are based on current prices, but the revenue which was allocated to them is two years old. Because of corruption, there is a scramble as to who will be in charge of allocating tenders. That is the cause of fight over roads. County governments want to award road tenders so that they can make deals with contractors. The national Government wants to award the bulk of the road tenders so that they can make deals under the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the other accounts. Instead of wrangling that the Commission on Revenue Allocation is escalating revenues by 15.9 per cent and the National Treasury is escalating them by 7.8 per cent, let us have actual revenues and stop hoodwinking Members that you are giving 30 per cent of the revenue raised nationally to the county governments. We want to know the exact figure. If it is not enough, we will be talking of actual figures in future."
