    "content": " It is working. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.8 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. As you have rightly said, what we have just done with the Procedural Motion moved by the Leader of the Majority Party is to fast-track it, so that hopefully this morning, we finalise with the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which was finalised by the Senate Mashinani yesterday in Kitui County. This is to enable the national Government or rather the National Treasury to disburse funds in accordance with the schedule attached to the Bill, to county governments. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not need to say a lot on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill because a lot was said during the debate on the Division of Revenue Bill, in terms of what we expect from our county governments. I want to re-emphasise that as the National Assembly and the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we are more than committed to ensure that our counties receive the money due to them at the right time without any undue delay. We regret the delays in disbursement of funds to our county governments which was occasioned by the disagreements on the Division of Revenue Bill, which we finalised."
