    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Makueni County on the issues that he has raised. It just because of time, but I am sure Members would want to contribute. There is one important issue that I want to say here and is important for the purpose of division of revenue, allocation of money to counties. The term for the Commission on Revenue Allocation is supposed to end at the end of December. We have advised Parliament to advertise those positions. The Senate should appoint their five, the National Assembly their two to enable the President to appoint the Chairman and we conclude this matter so that they can hand over. In fact, tomorrow, Friday, is their farewell party for the Commission. It is a pity that we are moving very slowly particularly in Parliament in getting--- - I know that the advertisements have been done, but I think it is important in order to ensure that we get the right people. I urge Parliament to ensure that those people who have been shortlisted are interviewed by the relevant Senate and the National Assembly committees. In 2010, they were interviewed by the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. I urge both Houses to allow relevant committees to interview those people who have been shortlisted so that we can get the people who are appropriately qualified to handle that docket because it is very important. It is the main institution that ensures the survival of counties in terms of the resources that are given. With those few remarks, I beg to reply."
