Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.41, I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from the Senate regarding its passage of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2021. The Message reads in part, and I quote, “ the Senate considered and passed the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.30 of 2021) on Thursday, 3rd June 2021, with amendments”. Hon. Members, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill is an annual legislation introduced in accordance with the provisions of Article 218 of the Constitution with the objective of equitably allocating the share of national revenue amongst the 47 counties. Given the urgency of the passage of this Bill the House Business Committee has prioritized its consideration in the National Assembly. Indeed, the Bill is scheduled to be read a First Time this afternoon at Order No.17 and, thereafter, stand committed to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in furtherance to the provisions of Standing Order 143(1). Hon. Members, I direct the Budget and Appropriations Committee to expedite the consideration of the Bill so as to enable the House to consider it in Second Reading, Committee of the whole House, and Third Reading, preferably next week, so as to unlock the budget processes in the counties. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
