    "content": "It is very sad that today we are experiencing a situation whereby we have a stalemate in this country. I want to assure Kenyans and respective county assemblies that we will not to be disadvantaged by this stalemate. Let us use this stalemate to strengthen and set a precedent that will liberate us from these shackles of impunity. Madam Temporary Speaker, we have hope in the provisions of this Constitution that even if we have a stalemate right now, we will sort out this problem once and for all. The Constitution provides that in case the Division of Revenue Allocation Bill is not passed, the respective county assemblies will use or will have a vote on account of about 50 per cent. I was just trying to assure the county assemblies and the county governments that we still have a provision of a Vote of Account of 50 per cent of the previous budgets to spend. Therefore, they should not feel as though the operations of the county governments will hit a stalemate and not operate in the next six months. They still have a window to operate within six months as we try to solve this stalemate."
