    "content": "I want Members to look at the Bill and see the contradictions in it. The whole of yesterday the Senate was discussing the National Assembly and they were saying that the President has committed an illegality. The President has not committed an illegality and that is why the Chief Justice has asked for the mediated version and we will give it to him with the HANSARD Report. Between 1st July and September 2019, and Hon. Makali Mulu who worked in the National Treasury said it, some counties accessed some resources as overdraft from the National Treasury. If you set the commencement date of the Division of Revenue Bill as the date the Bill is assented to, how do you account for the money given to some of the counties for those two months? It is logic. Look at Clause 11 of the County of Revenue Allocation Bill today. It tells us that those guys have gone to eat mandazi in Kitui - and their legal team. I am so ashamed. I am not a Senator and I am proud of the legal team of the National Assembly. Look at Clause 11 of the Bill. They say that the Schedule prepared under Section 17(7) of the Public Finance Management Act shall reflect that the disbursement of the money allocated to counties in the Financial Year 2019/2020 is effective from 1st July 2019. If they say that in Clause 11, but in Clause 1, on the commencement date, they talk about, “upon assent” or “upon the Act being gazetted”, which is after the President signs and it has to wait for 14 days, are they not contradicting themselves? They are contradicting themselves! The head of the Legal Department in the Senate must resign. He is not advising our colleagues in Kitui. I am told they are more than the population of Kitui. Every street in Kitui now has either a Senator or staff of the Senate."
