    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it would not be in order for anybody to say that the national Government has been inequitably allocating resources to counties on the basis of the perception that some counties are national Government-friendly while others are not. There are many instruments in our Constitution that ensure national resources are equitably distributed amongst all the counties in this country. Even as we speak about this we also should, as Members of Parliament, put some little pressure on our devolved governments to see to it that those who have a role to play in collection of revenue do their work. This is revenue which can also be shared equitably among all other counties. That is so that, when we come to the discussion of how we share the national cake, we do not only talk about the revenue that comes from the national or central Government. We can also be talking about an increased collection of revenue from the counties."
