    "content": "Two, that meeting can be roundtable or done separately. You also need to hear from the National Treasury, which is increasingly violating the law. The Division of Revenue Act says that when there is a shortfall in the collection of revenue, the level that should bear that shortfall is not county governments, but the National Government. So, we cannot delay development expenditure to counties in the pretext that we collected less tax. Therefore, these are some of the things the Committee should start thinking about and pre-emptively try to deal with them before they come here. That way, you will have helped this House to assert its authority and earn the respect that it deserves from the people of our country. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 232(1), the Petition stands Committed to the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. In terms of Standing Order 232(2), the Committee is required in not more than 60 days from the time of reading the prayer to respond to the Petitioner by way of report addressed to the Petitioner and laid on the Table of this Senate. That paragraph should be read mutatis mutandis, with necessary amendments and modifications because of what I have said. In future, I want to encourage Committees not to wait for the 60 days. Some of these things have been done in a week, and that is how Kenyans will start seeing an active House. Thank you. God bless."
