    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I can confirm as the Leader of the Majority Party that I appeared before the Liaison Committee. I am sure the Chairman for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was in session in Room 9 in which the CRA was interrogated after they had convinced the Senate. Even that report came here through a Message from the Senate after the Senate’s sub-committee on finance dealt with the matter. I can confirm this authoritatively from the HANSARD. I can even remember part of the variation they did to the current formula, where they introduced a new sub-section, something on financial with 1 per cent and dealt with population. I appeared before the Liaison Committee chaired by the Hon. Deputy Speaker. The report was concluded. It is now for the Clerk’s Office to bring it to the attention of the House. I even remember that the Report was tabled because I can also confirm through minutes of the House Business Committee (HBC) that, at one time, it was slotted for debate. It was on the Order Paper, if we trace our memory back. I cannot confirm whether the debate was concluded. That can be confirmed by the Clerk’s Office. If that was not done, then the Member is right. We must first dispose of that report. But the formula has been agreed upon. The report was adopted by the Liaison Committee. It was on the Order Paper. It was the time when we were going for a short recess. If the records of the Clerk’s Office and the HBC can confirm that it was not debated and finalised, then we are within the timeline. The bit that I disagree with the Member for Kiharu is that it is a function of the Senate to deal with the formula and the National Assembly. It has no basis on the county assemblies. The Senate dealt with it. It was referred to the National Assembly through a Message. Then you referred it to the Liaison Committee which dealt with it and it was for the House to come and debate it.
