    "content": "Orders say our Committee must deal with the budget for the Constitutional Commissions and independent offices. We are also supposed to consider matters concerning the national budget, including public finance and monetary policies and public debts, planning and developments policy. Our job is not only confined to allocations to counties. That is why our Committee took time to actually address all the issues that are in that BPS, which is the beginning of the budget process. In fact, we have pronounced ourselves on them and, going forward, the product of this now will be vertical allocation of revenue between the two levels of Government. Ordinary revenues are expected to increase by Kshs200 billion from the current Kshs1.65 billion to about Kshs1.8 billion. However, the National Treasury is saying that they want to reduce the allocation to counties because the ordinary revenue is not performing. That is actually not correct. We will, therefore, stand our ground and say that this must not happen."
