    "content": "A closer look at the Bill makes one to ask why we get to mediation stages. In the past, this has been the trend. The Senate has been going with exactly the figures of the Commission on Revenue Allocation. If we look at this critically, we wonder what is really happening. What we have in terms of vertical revenue placement are nominal figures. The Kshs310 billion is nominal and the Commission on Revenue Allocation is talking of Kshs335billion. This is nominal. If we look at it in that manner, we will realise that, over and above the nominal figure, which is Kshs310 billion in the Bill, there is Kshs61 billion on top. This is one thing we need to look into so that, as we move forward, it will help us a great deal in saving time in looking at the Division of Revenue Bill. Instead of constantly looking at only the nominal figure, we need to look beyond them in terms of what else goes to the counties. The extra that goes to counties is much more."
