    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2022) be read a Second Time. The County Allocation of Revenue Bill was introduced into the Senate Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.182 (1) of the Senate Standing Orders. The Bill is sponsored by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. The Bill was published on 8th of April, 2022 and subsequently tabled in the Senate for First Reading on 27th April, 2022. Thereafter, the Bill was committed to the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for consideration pursuant to Standing Order No.140 (1) of the Standing Orders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 218(1) (b) of the Constitution provides that at least two months before the end of each financial year, there shall be an introduction in Parliament of a County Allocation of Revenue Bill which shall divide among the counties, revenue allocated to the counties, county level of government on the basis determined according to the resolution in force under Article 217. The County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) 2022 devised among the counties the equitable share of the national revenue that is allocated to the county level of government as reflected by the annual Division of Revenue Act (DORA) for the Financial Year 2022/2023. Mr. Speaker, Sir, upon the committal, the Committee invited members of the public and Stakeholders inter alia, the National Treasury, Commission on Revenue Allocation, Council of Governors, the County Assembly Forum, the Society of Clerks-at- the-Table (SOCATT) to submit their comments on the Bill. The Committee also invited non-stake actors who provided quite insightful views regarding the content of the Bill."
