    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Senate amendment. I think my colleagues, the Mover, the Seconder and Hon. Duale have already done a good job in terms of what the law requires. Moreover, this is what I want to say. Th Division of Revenue Bill discusses the issue of practical allocation of resources. In this case, we are not having issues in terms of what the national Government gets and what county governments get. The issue is at the lower levels where we are asking: \"How much does this particular county get in terms of allocation?\" That is what we call the horizontal allocation of resources. Moreover, that is a matter of County Allocation of Revenue Act 2017. Therefore, if you look at the Constitution, the Senate has been set up to take care of the interests of the counties and this being a matter at the county level, as a House, it is important that we approve what the Senate has proposed so that those other administrative issues could be discussed later. At the same time, if you look at what we went through last year through the 2019/2020 Division of Revenue, that is something we should avoid as a House. Even as I support I say, let us support the Senate in this matter and then those other issues can be followed up. I support."
