    "content": "may not agree on who should be the next President or the Prime Minister of this country, but surely as a House we do agree that we must guard devolution by all means that are possible to us. I want to propose that the leadership guides us on all the grey areas. From the determination of what is the proper amount of shareable revenue, the issues of ceilings to our county assemblies and even this particular issue of having to close down our county governments almost every three or four months at the beginning of a financial year awaiting the Government to open its book. How do we seal that gap because staff in the county assemblies continue to suffer? I have just shared in the Senate WhatsApp group a letter from a local bank that is demanding extra interest from employees of county governments who have taken loans from the banks, but because there has not been revenue in the county governments the last three months the bank does not care. It is not their concern that we had not passed the Division of Revenue Bill. Therefore, as a House, it would be more prudent if we added our voice and work together with the CoG in ensuring that the other people outside Parliament can do their own"
