    "content": " On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I have listened intently to the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He was speaking futuristically about the dangers which would affect the Division of Revenue Bill. COVID-19 is a global phenomenon that will affect the performance of economies around the world. To that extent, there is a report that has been done indicating that Kenya’s revenues in this financial year might be affected even up to 50 per cent. We are already setting the limits of what counties are going to receive and this has an implication towards national functions. It means the national Government has to secede the money once it is passed in law to the counties at the expense of the national projects to be done. This has a further ramification on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) that we adopted."
