    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important to fast-track and process the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2018. In fact, we will come with some amendments in the Third Reading. Going forward, a time will come when the Division of Revenue Act will be enacted in the other House and assented to by His Excellency, but we will be forced to amend it. We are fast-tracking this now because for us to deal with the disbursement to counties, this law must be in place. We would have waited to amend the Division of Revenue Act as assented to and we brought it back. However, we do not want to do so. This is our Bill and we can amend it anytime we want. However, we want that money to be put in the budget so that we resist any attempt by the national Treasury to bring some money mainstream and tell us to amend the County Allocation of Revenue Act without us amending the Division of Revenue Act. We got our expert legal advice that anything that is in this Bill must also be in the Division of Revenue Act. We expect the discussion on this Bill to be finalized by tomorrow, so that we get to Third Reading when we come back from the Legislative Summit. With those few remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move this Bill and ask my vice Chairman, Sen. Mwaura, to second it."
