    "content": "National Assembly to actually amend that 15 per cent of the revenue when it comes from the Senate, we will have the two-thirds rule. I know with that, that provision is protected. The big problem we have in the division of revenue is not political, as we have been saying that there is a difference between the Senate and the National Assembly. It is not even legal. I really applauded the Chief Justice when he told the Senate and the National Assembly to go back and sort out that problem because it was not a legal problem. A major factor in this matter is technical and has to do with our budget-making process. The division of revenue is a product of the Budget Policy Statement (BPS). That is where the issues start. By the time we get the BPS, the part for the national Government is usually worked out in detail, ministry by ministry and implementing agents and we are quite clear what their needs are. They are even provided with a ceiling."
