    "content": " Hon. Senators, as you will recall, on Thursday, 27th June, 2013, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale rose on a point of order under Standing Order No.158(5) seeking the directions of the Chair on the disposal of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, Senate Bill No.1 of 2013. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale sought directions from the Chair on, among other things, the procedure and timelines for the introduction, consideration and passage of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2013, by the Senate. He stated that his concern was necessitated by the contested process by which the Division of Revenue Bill, 2013, had been transacted, leading to the request by the Senate for an Advisory Opinion from the Supreme Court in Reference No.2 of 2013. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale sought direction from the Speaker on the following matters:- 1. Whether it was possible to proceed on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2013, while the constitutionality of the Division of Revenue Act, 2013, on which it was predicated remains contested by the Senate in the Supreme Court; and, if so, whether proceeding in that manner on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2013, would amount to sub judice. 2. If the Senate were to choose to proceed with the Bill, whether it should proceed on the basis of the figure of Kshs210 billion as passed by the National Assembly or Kshs258 billion as passed by the Senate. 3. The effect of not proceeding with the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2013. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
