    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we move forward, one issue that has come up is county ceilings, especially, for the county assemblies and executive. There have been various consultations about this. We have county ceilings that have been agreed to and a process that involves both the CRA and the County Assembly Forum (CAF) to ensure that the ceilings have been adhered to and are agreeable on the formula that has been used. Certain components of the formula, for example, the 7 per cent of revenue of the county and personal emoluments (PE) times two factor that had been used have created a disharmony because there is a big variance between the 7 per cent of revenue for the county and the PE times two factor. The variance is very large and no particular process has been adhered to, to ensure that there is a balance. The formula then takes the lower of the two. In most cases, it is the 7 per cent of county revenue across the various counties. However, engagement has already started between the CRA and specifically the County Assembly Forum to ensure that there is agreement about those specific ceilings. Therefore, even as the budget and the monies are cascaded down to the specific emoluments that need to go to the county, that needs to be taken into consideration."
