    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a topical issue raised by our colleague, Sen. Khaniri. There are three quick things that I would wish to say. First, the people to squarely blame on this particular debacle is the National Treasury because our Committee on Finance and Budget had developed an Own Source Revenue Bill that would have guided counties on how to sort out this particular mess. When the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, Mr. Henry Rotich, appeared before us, he requested that in the spirit of cooperation and coordination that should exist between the Legislature and the Executive, we should shelve our Bill. He promised to bring a Bill before Parliament for consideration in relation to this particular issue. Unfortunately, when they brought it, they took the Bill to the “Lower House”. As we all know, everything there gets a priority except things to do with devolution. Therefore, for the past six months, the Own Source Revenue Bill has been before the National Assembly without due consideration."
