    "content": "national Government to be Ksh2,540 billion, and the Equalisation Fund was to take Ksh7.8 billion. The National Assembly, on 7th August 2024, considered and approved the changes in the sharing as proposed in the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill 2024, where the total shareable revenue is envisioned at Ksh2,602 billion. The amount is shared as follows: The national Government is allocated Ksh2,214.27 billion, county governments to receive Ksh380 billion and the Equalisation Fund to remain at Ksh7.8 billion. The Bill was thereafter transmitted to the Senate for consideration; after we had revised it following the collapse of the Finance Bill. The Senate, in accordance with Article 110(4) of the Constitution, and pursuant to Standing Order 145 of the Senate Standing Orders, facilitated public participation on the Bill, and on 3rd October 2024, passed the Bill with amendments. Since the Senate passed the Bill with amendments, it was referred back to the National Assembly. The Bill was referred to the National Assembly on 4th October 2024 for consideration and concurrence on the Senate amendments as per the provisions of Article 112(1)(b) of the Constitution. Therefore, it is worth noting that the publication and approval of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill is pegged on the approval of this Bill. Hence, the urgency to conclude this matter so that we can implement. The Committee, having considered, reviewed and examined the Message from the Senate on the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2024, recommends that the House rejects the amendments by the Senate. On behalf of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, I would like to appreciate the Office of the Speaker, the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly and the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) for the support they extended to us in order to fulfil our mandate during the consideration of the Message from the Senate on the Division of the Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Pursuant to Standing Order 199(6), it is my pleasant duty and privilege to table the Report and recommend to the House for its adoption. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I invite Hon. CPA Julius Rutto, Member for Kesses, to second the Motion. Thank you."
