    "content": " Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you will recall that you raised this particular issue substantively before the Speaker and he agreed that there were issues that he would respond to substantively. However, if you look at Article 217(4) of the Constitution, you will find that it gives the National Assembly a window of 60 days. Therefore, that means they are still perfectly within the constitutional provisions for them to make a determination on the resolutions that we made as a Senate. Obviously, when that determination is achieved by the National Assembly, definitely, we will have to sit down and look at how to realign that with the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I am aware that if they make that resolution within the shortest time possible, they could still amend this Bill during the Third Reading to realign it to the Second Generation Formula. Therefore, at this point, let us proceed. The Speaker gave a direction that he will advise on the same. This is the Second Reading and we still have the Committee of the Whole and the Third Reading of this Bill and more opportunity to deal with this issue as we move on."
