    "content": " Yes, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, the Senate amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2019) be now considered. Hon. Speaker, the communication that was sent to your office from the Senate has a number of amendments that were proposed to the Division of Revenue Bill that we had adopted and passed in this House sometime before the short recess. They have proposed a number of amendments. Instructively, some of them relate to issues that had been canvassed by the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) and adopted by this House. For instance, they have proposed an amendment on the leasing of medical equipment. They are proposing to remove the amount that we had provided for. They have also a proposal on the sharable revenue between the national and the county governments to increase it from the proposed Kshs310 billion by a further Kshs25 billion to a figure of Kshs335 billion amongst many other amendments that they have proposed. It is instructive to remind Members that the National Assembly, being the House that is charged by the Constitution with appropriating national resources has a vibrant BAC that considers many of the proposals that come to Parliament. Therefore, we have an opportunity to holistically look at the fiscal framework of our country. When the Senate makes amendments The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
