    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me address the issue of the Division of Revenue Bill being amended so that Kshs9 billion goes to the counties. With due respect to the National Assembly and the national Government, unfortunately, there is no constitutional framework or the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act provision which allows any House of Parliament to reverse division of revenue because it is not subject to a supplementary budget. A supplementary budget is a conversation that happens either in the national Government through the National Assembly or counties through county assemblies. If anybody brings to us an amendment to the Division of Revenue Bill, we cannot even prosecute it because it is unconstitutional. We even have no constitutional mechanism to handle it because there is a reason to that."
