    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I second, the budget-making process is found from Article 218 of the Constitution. Once the Cabinet Secretary brings the BPS and the House approves it, then it sets the stage for the publication of the Division of Revenue Bill. So, the BPS is a precursor to the Division of Revenue Bill since it sets the fiscal framework underpinning how the two levels of government share resources equitably. Because the BPS Report was adopted by this House, this matter is before the House this afternoon. The discussion this afternoon on the Division of Revenue Bill is very important. Let me pick from where Hon Musimba has left. Hon. Musimba had no point of order, but he had a very good argument that this House must decide before we go to the Committee of the whole House. That revenues will be affected both external and domestic, and the economy globally is going to be affected. We have allocated counties Kshs316.5 billion. Let me frame what Hon. Musimba was saying. Article 219 of the Constitution says: “A county’s share of revenue raised by the national Government shall be transferred to the county without undue delay and without deduction, except when the transfer has been stopped under Article 225.”"
