    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 139, the Senate resolves to reduce the publication period of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No.16 of 2023) from seven (7) days to five (5) days. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the basis of this Motion is that under Article 218 of the Constitution- (1) At least two months before the end of each financial year, there shall be introduced in Parliament – (a) a Division of Revenue Bill which shall divide revenue raised by the national Government among the national and the county levels of Government in accordance with this Constitution, and; (b) a county allocation of revenue Bill which shall divide among the counties the revenue allocated to the county level of Government on the basis determined in accordance with the resolution in force under Article 217. Mr. Speaker, Sir, end of this financial year is 28th April, 2023. If we take another seven days, it will have fallen out of the timeline within which it should be presented. I move that the Senate do resolve to reduce the publication period of this County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No. 16 of 2023) from seven (7) days to five (5) days, to enable this compliance to be in force. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request Sen. Cherarkey to second."
