    "content": "legislation that would give a solution to that existing lacuna in law where the Division of Revenue Bill has not been agreed to before the end of the preceding financial year. Therefore, I thought this Bill would be a very ingenious way to offer that solution of filling that gap in law and offer a practical solution to the problems that we have seen this year. It is my hope and prayer that this House and the Senate passes it. As you have seen, this Bill concerns county governments in terms of Article 110 of the Constitution. It relates to money which has already been charged on the Consolidated Fund by Article 203(2) of the Constitution. Therefore, as soon as we are done with this Bill, it will be transmitted to the Senate. I hope our good Senators, being the people charged with the responsibility of protecting the counties, will also be accommodative of this Bill and pass it in record time so that next year we are not faced with a similar situation. You realise that today is 11th September; it is the day we have tabled the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill. It has been a protracted battle for almost three months."
