    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion on the exemption of a Bill from the provisions of Standing Order No.141(1). We are all aware about the Division of Revenue Bill which this House passed. As a result of the amendments done by the Senate and the failure of the Mediation Committee to agree on the proposed change, it was not possible to get the Bill passed. On the basis of that, bearing in mind the importance of this Bill, I want to urge my colleagues that we pass this Procedural Motion so that we get debate on this Bill starting again. Just as the Chairman has said, it is obvious that unless this Bill is passed to become an Act of Parliament, county governments will have a challenge in preparing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I think it is really important that we support this so that we pave way for that other important stage to start. So, I want to urge my colleagues that even though we know, I think this is the first time as a House we are being subjected to discussing what we are discussing in relation to a Division of Revenue Bill, it is important that we pass this Procedural Motion to allow county governments have their budgets finalised. With those remarks, I second the Procedural Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
