Members, I wish to report that this afternoon I have received a message from the Senate regarding the passage in the Senate of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2014. The message states as follows:- “The County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.13, 2014) which was published in the Kenya Gazette Supplement No.52, 16th April, 2014, as a Bill originating in the Senate was passed by the Senate, on Tuesday, 5th August, 2014. The message continues that the Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly to the Bill.” Hon. Members, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill is a Special Bill concerning county governments in terms of Articles 110 and 111 of the Constitution, which is crucial in the running of the operations and budgeting in the counties. In this regard, I direct that the said Bill be prioritized for First Reading tomorrow, 7th August 2014, so that it may be committed to the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations for necessary consideration. Due to the urgency of the passage of the Bill, and notwithstanding provisions of Standing Order 234, the Committee is expected to submit a report to the House on or before 13th August, 2014,,which is next week. Thank you, hon. Members."
