    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, Pursuant to Standing Order No. 128, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2017) from Seven (7) days to One (1) day. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason behind this, as I indicated yesterday, is that there is an urgency that we must pass the amendments that are in the County Allocation of Revenue Bill that corrects certain anomalies that existed in the Bill as passed by this House in the Eleventh Parliament. If we do not do so quickly, our counties will continue to suffer. Although the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in a statement read in this House yesterday indicated that the counties still have money in their Central Bank of Kenya accounts, that will not last for long. Considering that the long recess is coming soon, it is important that this House takes the shortest time possible to correct the errors that were in the Bill, so that counties can receive resources. This is a straightforward thing. We are not negotiating about how much money will go to the counties or how much is allocated to which county. The question here is to basically ensure that corrections are made."
