    "content": "Of course, according to Article 96 of the Constitution, the Senate represents the counties and serves to protect the interests of county governments. I also want to give some guidance because I may be leaving the Chair. Hon. Members, I appreciate that this particular financial year, this Bill, even though Article 218(1)(a) says that the Cabinet Secretary shall table the Division of Revenue Bill not later than 30th of April, we should be happy that we are discussing this Bill today, 15th March. Nevertheless, it may be desirable that, in keeping with that effort, you remain a bit more in the Chamber because in order for you to move to the Committee of the whole House, you must not be less than 50 Members when the Question is put. That way, you will be able to cover the two stages of the Bill. That is not to say that anybody is being denied an opportunity to contribute. If I turn to the Majority side, because I told you that my screen is blurred, I can see the Member for Mwea, Hon. Wachira Kabinga, smiling. The Member for Dagoretti is permanently smiling. So, I do not know when he is smiling to catch my eye. If I look at the Opposition side, it would be obvious that the Leader of the Minority Party will have the first bite of the cherry. It is also in the Constitution. There is nothing we can do about that, Hon. Wamalwa. The Leader of the Minority Party will have the first bite of the cherry."
