    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill. When we passed this Bill in this House, I expected that it would be supported in the Senate and that there would be no amendment. So, I want to support Hon. Rev. Musyimi and his Committee. The amendments they have made are likely to affect the general Budget as a whole. Also, all the monies which have gone to most of the counties have not been accounted for. In fact, the previous county councils did much better in revenue-raising than what is happening today. They would have supplemented their own budgets by the collections and levies that they make in the counties. They should be making a lot of money. This is what is happening in many counties: It is suspected that there are special accounts where the revenues that are collected are kept. They are kept secretly and never released for accounting. Nobody really knows about them. They are used to carry out other political activities in the counties. It is very unfair. Such monies should be released.
