    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that The Division of Revenue (No. 2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 59 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. The Bill before us was submitted to this House last week. In fact, we realized that when the National Assembly republished the Bill, they published the figure of Kshs316.5 billion. You should also recall that we passed the same Bill last time and the Bill was submitted to National Assembly with a figure of Kshs335 billion. It was our hope as a Committee that the National Assembly could have at least considered the Bill that will involve them, deal with the amendments and send it back to us. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill was read for the First Time and referred to the Committee on Budget Appropriation. Thereafter, it was actually tabled for debate in the National Assembly. After it was moved by the Chairperson of Budget and Appropriation Committee, there were interjections. Very mediocre arguments were brought forward. A Paper which was very detailed was read out by the National Assembly Majority Leader. Apparently, it was maybe written for him by some quarters. I listened to that Statement. It was actually very pathetic because it was raising non-issues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say that the reference to one House of Parliament baking a cake--- there is a lot of reference to a cake. The way a cake is made, where it The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
