    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, that then leads me to think that even when it comes to the Division of Revenue Bill, our role seems to be to rubber stamp what other bodies have come up with. Last year when we attempted to change the Division of Revenue Bill, we went into mediation and it turned out nasty and has put us in the situation that we are in now. The County Allocation of Revenue Bill which we want to rush to discuss at 5.00 p.m. on a Wednesday, one day before we go on recess will not be discussed properly. We are not doing justice to our role. The blame is on us as Senate. We spend a lot of time discussing Statements and many other things and yet the County Allocation of Revenue Bill is one of the significant Bills that originate from this House before it goes to the National Assembly. However, you will realize that the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has got more powers on the Division of Revenue Bill than the Senate. The CRA is only supposed to recommend a formula for allocating revenue amongst the various counties. However, when the matter comes to us, we tend to find ourselves in a situation where it is a sealed matter."
