    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me thank Hon. Washiali for moving the Motion on my behalf. I was stuck in traffic. I wish to second. As Hon. Washiali has adequately articulated and considering that we are going on a short recess at the end of next week, we need to have published and, at least, tabled a report which we hope to table by Tuesday or Wednesday morning. As per the constitutional requirements, I think the Parliamentary Budget Office is already working on the advertisements together with the Clerk’s Office for public participation. Remember that it is now a constitutional requirement that even this Bill, like all others, has to go through public participation. We are fortunate that this year and largely, there has been concurrence on the figures that are to be shared between the two levels of government. However, there are also challenges as I mentioned as I concluded debate on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS). The challenges are to do with Nairobi County on the transfer of functions. Therefore, it is important that, as much as the County Assembly of Nairobi is doing public participation on that issue, that we also give the greater public of the country an opportunity to make their presentations on the question of the Division of Revenue between the two levels of government and even on issues pertaining to the transfer of functions between Nairobi County and the national Government. With that, I wish to second. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
