    "content": "It says that if this House attempts to amend or reject that Bill, it requires two-thirds majority. The spirit of the Constitution is that it should be originated by the Senate so that when it comes to this House, then we require high numbers either to amend or to reject it. I do not think the framers of this Constitution would have been mad to originate County Allocation of Revenue Bill from Senate and still allow the Senate to originate the Division of Revenue Bill. My thinking is that the Senate should be able to know that when it comes to originating this Bill, it should be role of the National Assembly. The question is this: If they can originate the Division of Revenue Bill, what would stop any Member of this House from originating County Allocation of Revenue Bill next year? These are the hard questions we must ask ourselves. If we agree as a House that we are going to debate at the Second Reading, then there is no harm and I would request Hon. Junet to immediately originate a County Allocation of Revenue Bill and we discuss it and see how far we will go. We should avoid this confusion in this country because financial management is important."
