    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I would agree. Just to go on record because I was part of the Mediation Committee, what the Leader of the Majority Party said and tabled is exactly what we agreed, but there is something that the nation needs to know. The mischief the Senate wanted to do by changing the effective date has a major impact on when the counties will get the revenue. They pleaded with us in terms of fast-tracking the Bill so that we can get the County Allocation of Revenue Act which they said they will look at in Kitui. If we are going to base the County Allocation of Revenue Act on the Division of Revenue Act which will be based on a publication date in October or December, then it means that they will not do that next week. They will proceed on their trips abroad. We will end up delaying the disbursement of funds to the counties who are already starved of money. Besides, applying the date as different from 1st July could also interfere with the funds available. Those are some of the things that the public needs to know. The Senate in playing its games is actually putting the counties in jeopardy. This broad House must now protect those counties and protect devolution which Senate has failed miserably to protect."
