    "content": "the issue being canvassed in court is whether the Appropriation Act that was signed was legal on unconstitutional. Our contention is that it was unconstitutional and that is our basis. I must vent my views. What bothers me is that after the mediation, somebody went and changed the script of the product of mediation to read something else other than what had been agreed upon. If that is the case, I do not see why we should sit here to discuss the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. If that is what happened, it is itself a very dangerous precedence that we are creating. I am a strong proponent that counties should get more money regardless of what the National Assembly thinks about the counties. The issues of corruption should not be used to stop the counties from getting more money because we shall deal with it in a different format. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of revenue division to counties is paramount to the existence of the county governments and devolution as a whole. If we make the first mistake, we are likely to derail the Senate. I will not be counted as one of the people who derailed the Senate. I would like to know what version the Speaker signed, if he signed any at all. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
