    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.30 of 2021) be read a Second Time. In accordance with Article 110 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, Section 191(4) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and Standing Order No.41, I am ordered to present to this House, on behalf of the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Committee’s Report on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.30 of 2021). 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. The Senate, on Thursday, 3rd June 2021, passed the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2021 with amendments and sought concurrence of the National Assembly on it, in accordance with the provisions of Article 112(1)(b) of the Constitution. I want to refresh the memory of Members. The Bill was read the First Time in the National Assembly on Tuesday, 8th June 2021, and committed to my Committee. The Bill guarantees the county governments of their respective share of revenue raised nationally and ensures seamless operations at the county level. This is done through the enactment of the County Allocation of Revenue Act based on the overall provisions in the Division of Revenue Act. The Division of Revenue Act, 2021 gives a total allocation of Kshs370 billion as the equitable share to the county governments. The County Allocation of Revenue Bill is, therefore, based on the approved Division of Revenue Bill of 2021. The County Allocation of Revenue Act proposes to share the allocation of Kshs370 billion amongst the county governments for the Financial Year 2021/2022 and contains two Schedules relating to the following: The First Schedule is the equitable share of Kshs370 billion allocation of each county government’s equitable share of revenue raised nationally for the Financial Year 2021/2022 while the Second Schedule provides 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."
