    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. We have had various discussions in the Committee on Finance and Budget led by Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud and we invited various stakeholders. We had a discussion first with the Controller of Budget, then with the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) and also with various Senators. If you recall, we held an informal kamukunji at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Upper Hill. After all those discussions, we resolved to come up with some amendments. Those amendments were drafted by a committee of experts. Once that was done, a report was prepared and brought before the Committee on Finance and Budget. I have no problem with those proposed amendments. However, they were so substantive that according to the Standing Orders, it was resolved that there is the need to withdrawal this Bill so that it can be republished afresh. Before I formally withdraw the Bill, I urge the Chair to write and confirm once I withdraw what timelines we shall have for republication. Once that is done, I will come and stand and formally withdraw. However, I would want that clarification so that it is clearly captured on HANSARD that this Bill is not being withdrawn forever; it is not going to die. It will be brought back again. It is a Bill that wants to put into effect Article 176 of the Constitution."
