    "content": "to pass it by tomorrow in order for us to provide the figures that can be used in the preparation of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill for 2016 which is due any time. I urge each Senator to take this matter seriously. It was agreed in the sessions that we had last month that this time Members approve this formula. Otherwise, it would be really a shame if the Senate in its five years tenure will not have come up with a new formula when it had the opportunity. This is one of the most important mandates that the Constitution gives exclusively to the Senate; to provide the basis for determining how revenues can be shared. It is very difficult and I appreciate that it is difficult for everyone to agree because we all represent a county. In essence, we can only look at the recommendation and ensure that everyone is taken care of in this formula. That is the gist of the formula itself. The CRA, in the attachment in the report, has provided an idea on how the figures will look like if those parameters are applied. I take this opportunity to thank my Committee Members for the time that they have spent in coming up with this Report. I also thank the CRA, the national Treasury, the Council of Governors (CoG), members of the public and other stakeholders who played a key role in arriving at this decision. We are also grateful to the Office of the Speaker who gave us adequate time in the last two years to address this matter. It has been a vexing matter and I appreciate their support. I beg to move. Sen. Njoroge will second the Motion."
