No, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to rush through my response, so that we can proceed to the next business. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Sections I have referred to are clear that it is for this House, through its committees, to determine what revenue the county governments will receive. It is this House which determines the percentage of revenue that should go to the CDF---

8 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I said that the CRA is a creation of this House, and that it is up to the Members of this House to make sure that the formula developed by the CRA complies with both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Having said so, I want to confirm to the House that what the national Government will bring to this House today and tomorrow will be subjected to the formula developed by the CRA.

7 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, hon. Mbadi asked two fundamental questions. The first one is what you have ruled on about Article 221 on the Cabinet Secretary nominee and why we are not getting it. You ruled on that and he has given the specific provisions in the Constitution on Articles 130 and 134. This document on the estimate of revenue, grants and loans is dated 30th April. That is when Parliament received that. That, indeed, shows that we were within the constitutional timeline of two months. This applies to the Budget Policy Document which Parliament has received. These are the documents ...

7 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure my friend that committees of the House are also part of this House. The documents that we have placed before the House and there are more documents concerned with the Budget and all the issues my good colleague is raising, once we form the relevant committees, these documents will find their way there. They are already within Parliament. We have tabled the estimates and the revenues. We have even tabled the Budget Policy document.

7 May 2013 in National Assembly:
The three mandates are to represent the people who brought us to Parliament, to legislate and oversee. I want to go on record that the role of overseeing is not the preserve of a particular group in this House. Jubilee Members of Parliament, whether in the oversight coalition, whether in the oversight committees of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Public Investments Committee (PIC) or whether in the Departmental Committees or in the Senate, their role is to legislate, oversee and represent. That cannot and will never be circumvented by any group.
