    "content": "under IBEC have an opportunity as the Executives in both the national and county governments and the commission in charge of revenue allocation to agree at the IBEC level. If they agree, they make the work of this House and of the Senate much easier. The main objective of this Bill, therefore, is to put in place interim measures to allow county governments to access the bare minimum of their share of revenue as guaranteed and granted to them under Article 206(2) of the Constitution to enable them to offer services to the public pending enactment of the Division of Revenue Bill; in the event that such a Bill is not enacted before the commencement of the next financial year as happened in this FY of 2019/2020. The Bill is not in any way envisaged to be a replacement of the Division of Revenue Bill. Nobody should misconstrue this to be coming to replace the Division of Revenue Bill as contemplated in the Constitution. It merely seeks to put in place interim measures for the financing of county governments, as I said, to pre-empt the suffering that we have seen this financial year."
