    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a Procedural Motion. I am glad that today I was able to represent the sovereignty of the people of Kisii County on a matter that is very important to their hearts. I stand counted because that sovereignty is not for nothing. Why are we talking about sovereignty which is not for nothing? It is because the revenue that is collected in this nation, is collected from taxes that are paid. “Wanjiku”, that little person in the county is the one that pays these taxes. As the Constitution clearly spells out, we expect that we shall be able to equitably share these resources both at the national and county levels. That has not happened. We are being treated to a circus. The rule of law must apply and it simply states that: “If there is no Division of Revenue, there will be no Appropriation Bill presented before any House.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
