    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill proposes a total shareable revenue of Kshs226 billion. There will be an amendment that the Committee proposes of Kshs660 million, so that the total comes to Kshs226.66 billion. If we look at the provisions of the Constitution based on the last audited accounts of 2009/2010 Financial Year, this amount represents 43 per cent of the Kshs529.3 billion of 2009/2010 Financial Year. Under Article 203, the Constitution requires the threshold of 15 per cent which has been met in the Division of Revenue Bill. Therefore, the equitable share that we propose, subject to the amendments that I have mentioned, will be Kshs226.66 billion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have conditional allocation which is provided in the Second Schedule. There is a conditional allocation of Kshs13,898,673. This conditional allocation has been allocated to county governments from loans and grants received from development partners. A sum of Kshs733.6 million will be disbursed directly to the county governments to supplement financing for county health facilities. The balance of Kshs13.2 billion will not be transferred to county governments because of the existing financial agreement with development partners. However, the amount will be budgeted for and managed by the national Government. That is the way it has been structured. So, a sum of Kshs13.2 billion out of that Kshs13.8 billion is actually money that will be managed and disbursed by the national Government. This is a conditional allocation because it will go to the county governments’ utilization. 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."
