    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill with the reservations that I have already stated that have been on record since last week when we were discussing the Division of Revenue Bill and also with the amendments that I am sure will follow when we go for the Third Reading. I will address certain specific issues that are contained in the Bill. What about Homa Bay County? The county that I represent will get Kshs6.74 billion as a result of the Bill that we are considering. The Bill that we are debating before the amendments are effected indicate that Homa Bay County will get Kshs7.14 billion. However, in reality, if we look at Kshs316 billion as the sharable revenue, then Homa Bay County will get Kshs6.74 billion which is 0.2 per cent of the national budget. There has been a smokescreen that has been put out there that counties are getting so much money. However, if I contextualise the percentage that will go to Homa Bay County out of the budget for the Republic of Kenya for the year, it is only 0.2 per cent."
