"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, may I join my colleagues in supporting this Bill. I declare to all and sundry that when we came in 2013, we had to come up with a County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2013. Then, for every other year, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill has been passed by this House. I went home and found an erroneous statement being paraded by people in the county that no Senator brings money to the county. They went ahead to say that whether or not the Senate exists, money will still flow to the county. What an erroneous belief. If this Senate does not vote for this Bill, then county governments will cease to receive funding until such a time when their representative, who is the protector, votes in this House It is important that we tell everybody that the lies being floated around by every other person should be ignored. The Senate is the ultimate authority. The Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) is an arm of Senate. They bring a proposal and if we reject it, there is nothing they can do."
