    "content": "(1) For the FY2023/2024 approved in November 2023, which led to a number of changes in the budget outlay of the National Government. The changes substantially altered the resources to be disbursed to counties as additional allocations. The affected items included - (1) Conditional allocation towards the leasing of medical equipment: This was revised to zero from the initial Kshs5.862 billion. (2) Conditional allocation for aggregated industrial parks: This was reduced by Kshs200 million from Kshs4.7 billion to Kshs4.5 billion. (3) Conditional allocation for aggregated industrial parks; this was reduced by Kshs200 million, from Kshs4.7 billion to Kshs4.5 billion. (4) Conditional allocation from the proceeds of loans and grants from development partners; some had increments while others had reductions. Upon deliberations, the Committee considered the contentious issues and in accordance with Article 113 of the Constitution, developed an agreed version of the Bill. This agreed version of the Bill took into account the following recommendations- (1) Insertion of new Clause 5(5)(e) to provide for additional conditional allocations for the transferred library services amounting to Kshs162.85 million. This amount will be allocated to counties that had a shortfall upon receiving the allocation, which was included in the equitable share. (2) The Committee noted that though the framework for the disbursement of mineral royalties to the beneficiary counties was yet to be finalized and approved, the unconditional allocation for mineral royalties should be retained in the Bill, as it is an entitlement to the beneficiary counties under Section 183(5) (b) of the Mining Act, 2016. (3) Conditional additional allocations on leasing of medical equipment. The Committee noted that there are several challenges experienced in implementing this project, such as a lack of specialized personnel and the necessary infrastructure to absorb the equipment in some counties. Therefore, the Committee resolved that the allocation for leasing of medical equipment amounting to Kshs5.862 billion be deleted. (4) Variations in loans and grants from development partners"
