    "content": "The petitioner contends that over the years there has been emphasis by successive regimes in power in the Republic of Kenya on economic development at the expense of human development as exemplified in recent times by the inordinately high allocation of resources to infrastructure and energy development as compared to allocation to health, education and agriculture sectors that have a direct bearing on human development. The petitioner, therefore, prays that the National Assembly initiates the process of enacting legislation with regard to implementation of resolutions of the African Union in the Republic of Kenya and in particular concerning the proposed formula for division and allocation of revenue towards the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The proposed allocations are as follows: 1. Fifteen per cent to the health sector; 2. Twenty per cent to agriculture including water, sanitation and irrigation; 3. Twenty per cent to the education sector. 4. Ten per cent to shelter/ housing sector; and 5. Ten per cent to the security sector. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.227, this Petition, therefore, stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations for consideration. I wish to inform the House that the Petition was submitted in the 11th Parliament, but the Committee had not concluded its consideration by the time the House adjourned sine die. The Committee is, therefore, requested to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and the petitioner in accordance with Standing Order No.227(2). Thank you, Hon. Members. There is a Petition by the Member for Embakasi West. You must use your card."
