    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With due respect for Mr. Chachu, it is understandable why he is so passionate by the calculations he is opposing; North Horr will be more than double its share. But that is not the point. My point is this: The constitutionality of this Motion or otherwise, would be a point of argument. I say so because in the Constitution, the National Revenue Allocation Commission has got its duties. Its duties are clearly defined in Clause 216(1). It states as follows:- “The Commission on Revenue Allocation shall make recommendations concerning the basis for the equitable sharing of revenue raised by the national Government between the National Government and County Governments and among county governments.’’ It has got nothing to do with revenue that is allocated on the basis of an Act of Parliament. We are talking about an Act of Parliament. So, if there is any valid reason why Mr. Chachu should stand and oppose this Motion, he should make that a substantive argument, and not a point of order."
