    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I take this opportunity to contribute to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2021. This is the Bill that horizontally divides resources between counties. It is prepared under Articles 217 and 218 of the Constitution. This is the Bill that allows transfer of resources from the Consolidated Fund to county treasuries. If you look at this Bill, county governments have been allocated Kshs370 billion in the 2021/2022 Financial Year. They are supposed to share this money as the equitable share among all the counties. There is nominal increase in the amount compared to last financial year of about Kshs53 billion, translating to 16.9 per cent compared to the Kshs316 billion allocated in the 2020/2021 Financial Year. The Senate, in its wisdom, has amended the Schedule. It has deleted the Second Schedule and substituted it with a new Schedule. The new Schedule increases recurrent expenditure ceilings for county assemblies. My interest is why the increment? It has been increased from Kshs33.2 billion in the ending financial year to Kshs35.6 billion. This is mainly because of pending bills which are before counties and the car grants for our colleagues in the county assemblies. There is no increment for the county executives. The figure remains unchanged."
