    "content": "So, in Section 6, the Bill looks at the mechanisms for resolution of any dispute which, again, the objective is to avoid wasteful expenditure by going to court instead of pursuing the provisions of the alternative mechanisms provided in Article 189 of the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the most important part of the Bill is the Schedule, which is on page 6 of the Bill. Page 6 of the Bill shows Schedule (s.4), the allocation of revenue raised nationally between the national and county governments for the Financial Year 2015/2016, with three columns. There is a column on the level or type of allocation; the second column is on the amounts and then the percentages. So, I want to seek your indulgence to take hon. Members through this, because we appreciate that it is very important that you get it. The total allocation to the national Government is Kshs978.692 billion, which includes the free maternal healthcare of Kshs4.2 bilion, leasing of medical equipment of Kshs4.5 billion, it also includes Kshs2 billion for Level 5 hospitals and healthcare facilities compensation. We also have equalization fund which is Kshs6 billion because it is taking into account the arrears for the previous year. The county equitable share, which is the shareable allocation of revenue for the counties, is Kshs258 billion. The total sharable amountsof revenue for both levels of government comes to Kshs1.142 trillion. Out of that, the allocation for the counties is in the next part. The equitable share that the Bill recommends is Kshs258.008 billion. The Bill proposes the following conditional allocation:- (1) Kshs25,733,685,204 billion, which comprises the following:- (a)free maternal healthcare of Ksh4.2 billion; (b) leasing of medical equipment of Ksh4.5 billion; (c) level 3 hospitals, Ksh2 billion;"
