    "content": "demands that this House approves the Budget, that mandate should be given to this House to make sure that we do not have a situation where the back and forth that we see today delays approval of budgets. I can tell you for sure that if this second attempt fails, we will get to July 1st; there will be no County Allocation of Revenue Act at that time and the county assemblies or county governments will be forced to operate on what we call a vote on account. This implies that they can only use a maximum of 50 per cent of the budget. We need to improve what we call certainty in budget-making. We need to make sure that these things are improved in time so that the county governments can start preparing their budgets in time. As a result of that, we will have the budgets approved in good time. Having spent so much time discussing this Report, I do not think we also need to spend a lot of time discussing the Bill again. Hon. Members, since we had already discussed what we are about to discuss, I plead with you that we just rush through and bring out the most important or salient points and then have this Bill approved by the House so that at the end of the day, we pave the way for the County Allocation of Revenue Bill to be presented to the House. With those remarks, I beg to second."
