    "content": "As I said, resources are very limited. With time, our needs and demand for resources will far much outstrip the available resources. So, it is almost guaranteed that every other financial year we will not probably be in agreement on how much resource we will share between the two levels of government. However, the Constitution, as passed in 2010, guarantees that at least a minimum of 15 per cent will be given as sharable revenue to county governments. So, irrespective of whether or not we have passed the Division of Revenue Bill, the 15 per cent that has been granted to the counties by the Constitution ought to be availed to the county governments for them to continue with business, just like the national Government is able to continue with business if we have not passed the Appropriations Bill. The Constitution provides for measures within which Government can access funds to offer services to the public."
