    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, the Bill seeks to provide a framework for the transfer of additional allocations under Article 202(2) of the Constitution from the national Government’s share of revenue and from the development partners to the county governments. After approval of the Bill by the Senate, the Bill was transmitted to the National Assembly for consideration and concurrence. Mr. Speaker Sir, the High Court held inter-alia that conditional grants cannot be included in the division of revenue and therefore Division of Revenue Act. The High Court was of the position that as set out in Article 218 of the Constitution only matters of division nationally raised revenue between the national Government and the county governments are to be included in the Division of Revenue Bill. The fact that the High Court indicated that conditional grants cannot be included in the Division of Revenue Bill and not precluded in the development, introduction and enactment of legislative instruments to provide for the manner in which, conditional grants will be distributed to the counties."
