"content": " Mr Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with your ruling, that you will give a comprehensive Statement on this next week. The reason why I would plead with the Senators to agree with the position that the Speaker has taken, is that although the President has signed DORA, the President, the Executive and the National Assembly are still in a legal and constitutional quagmire. This is because they had already passed an Appropriations Act, which is inconsistent with the Division of Revenue Act (DORA). The Appropriations Act gave only Kshs310 billion to counties. Now, through DORA, we are giving the counties Kshs316 billion which is inconsistent with the Appropriations Act. Now, they have backdated DORA because they know that without doing that, they will have problems with the Appropriations Act which was already passed and enacted."
