    "content": "respect to the basis for sharing of revenue. At this time, we have been waiting for the Third Generation Formula of revenue sharing since many of us feel that the second generation formula has been disfranchising our counties, especially counties that are populous. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before moving forward on this stage of this Bill, I want to ask that you rule on whether, despite the provisions of the Constitution and the fact that it is the same Committee that has sat on the formula for many months, we should proceed with this Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feel very strongly for the people of Nairobi City County, that we deserve a new formula. I know very many other counties know that it is not just a suggestion; the Constitution is clear about how long one formula should stay. We cannot benefit from them not doing their work of giving us a formula. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want you to rule on whether we should proceed on this before we have the formula brought by the same Committee. Could you rule that the Committee within one week--- Even if they want to bring the same formula, let them do so and let us consider a formula for sharing revenue. There is no other more serious work that a Senator has apart from determining the manner in which our counties shall divide money. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg for your ruling on this matter before we proceed any further."
