    "content": "The Committee further included the Fuel Levy Fund loans and grants in the computations. These resources have been provided in the Bill as conditional allocations pursuant to Article 202(2). These are national Government resources, which are additional resources to county governments. This comes from the national Government share to the county government. Looking at the vertical allocation, the Committee made the following observations: These are some of the activities that were undertaken by the Committee prior to formulating of the Division of Revenue Bill. The National Assembly organised public hearings in October 2014. The public views and recommendations are to be used to inform the 2015/2016 Budget. The Constitution recognises the public as a key stakeholder in the Budget making process to enhance openness and transparency and to ensure that the Budget is responsive to the public needs. The issue of public hearings was substantially discussed and we are seized of it. In that regard, the hearings were held in 14 counties around the country, namely, Turkana, Muranga, Baringo, Kajiado, Kiambu, Nandi, Busia, Kirinyaga, Siaya, Elgeyo/Marakwet, Vihiga, Mandera, Kericho and Migori. Those are the counties that we visited as a Committee and we obtained views from the public."
