    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the Division of Revenue Bill, you will realise that one of the key issues that comes up is whether whatever the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) does has any merit and whether it has any guidance or this is just an office to employ people to just draw some salary without anything that is of any major input. All the CRA has come up with has been trashed and nothing has been considered. If you look at some of the proposals they come up with, for instance, when they talk about budget allocations for rehabilitation of primary and secondary schools, which is a national function, you will wonder whether they really understand the Constitution of Kenya. You also wonder where this should fall under; whether it should come as a conditional grant or as a national Government function. If you look at the table on page 66, you will find that it talks about what the CRA has allocated and what the National Treasury has allocated. If you look at the adjustment for the county roads, you will find that the CAR proposes Kshs27.8 billion while the National Treasury allocates zero. On adjustment for public participation, the CRA allocates Kshs5 billion while the National Treasury allocates zero. Whatever they are doing is it work in futility or they are doing something that can add value to Kenyans?"
