    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is in relation to the matter which the Member asked in terms of the ceilings for county assemblies. After discussing with the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), we struggled to make sure that the budget ceilings for expended items of recurrent for county assemblies were done and put in Schedule Four of County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) which is the law in place now. It is also in the Cash Disbursement Schedule which we sent the other day. So, as far as the Committee is concerned, this matter has been dealt with. We increased the figures CRA brought to us in terms of expenditure for county assemblies by an extra Kshs1.7 billion, considering the longer sitting period, allowances for sitting and the recurrent expenditure. The assemblies were dealt together as a one entity. I am not aware of discrimination. As explained by a Member of my Committee, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior, we do not know whether the matter refers to all the 47 county assemblies."
