    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the County Governments Additional Allocations (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2022) be read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the County Governments Additional Allocations (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2022) provides the legal basis for the transfer of additional allocation from the National Government’s share of revenue as per the Division of Revenue Act, as well as the external loans and grants from development partners to the county governments, especially for the Financial Year 2022/2023. The Bill is in line with Article 190 of the Constitution that provides that Parliament may legislate for additional support to county governments and consistent with Article 202 (c) of the Constitution which provides for the transfer of additional allocations from the national Government share of revenue to the devolved units, the 47 counties. As you may remember, the annual Division of Revenue Bill was originally used to allocate additional funds to county governments. However, the High Court Ruling No. 252 of 2016 supposes that the Division of Revenue Act should not be used to distribute conditional and non- conditional grants and funds to counties since it violates the institutional and functional integrity of both levels of government. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is also important to remember that the County Government Additional Allocation Act of 2022 was previously passed by this House on 29th April 2022 and it outlined the process for allocating additional funds for the Financial Year 2021/2022. On the other hand, the Bill which will be regarded as having entered into force on 1st July 2022 provides for the raise of additional funds or allocations with regard to Financial Year 2022/2023."
