    "content": "Revenue Bill is very critical. Once it passes, it gives stage for the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and the estimates. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is indeed important to note that even if the national Government cannot manage to collect taxes to reach its target, there is no way they can compromise on the allocation that has been made for the counties. In case of a shortfall, we can only sacrifice the amount that is going to the national Government, not that which has been allocated to the county governments. I want to make it clear to some civil society activists who have been going to court pertaining to the NG-CDF allocation. They need to understand that after vertical sharing, the NG-CDF allocation comes from the allocation of the national Government. They also need to know that we amended the law. That is why it is no longer called CDF but NG-CDF. Its primary function is to implement projects of the national Government as stipulated in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution."
