    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, Senate Bill No.5 of 2015 be now read a Second Time. The Message to the National Assembly on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill was received on 25th June, 2015 and subsequently committed to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for considerations. In this regard, my Committee held one sitting yesterday. After lengthy discussions and advice from the Commission on Revenue Allocation and the Controller of Budget, from which we benefited a lot, we wish to table this Report. The principal object of the Bill, as we all know, is to make provision for the allocation of revenue raised by the national Government among the 47 county governments for the 2015/2016 Financial Year. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Bill provides for equitable allocation of revenue raised by the national Government among the county governments for the 2015/2016 Financial Year on the basis determined in accordance with the resolution in force under Section 217 of the Constitution for the 2015/2016 Financial Year. The Schedules to the Bill propose to allocate total revenue of Kshs287 billion and represents 33 per cent of the 2012/2013 Financial Year, the most recently audited revenues as approved by Parliament. The Bill proposes to allocate revenues as follows:- (i) Kshs260 billion of sharable revenue or 33 per cent of the most recently audited revenues. (ii) Kshs10.671 billion of conditional allocation. This has been allocated to county governments from loans and grants received from development partners. The amount of Kshs10.671 billion to supplement financing of county health facilities includes a loan of Kshs508 million from the World Bank; a grant of Kshs844.71 million and other conditional loans and grants amounting to Kshs9.32 billion. We have Kshs16.598 billion, a total conditional allocation to counties from the share of national Government revenue. These amounts are made up of Kshs3.6 billion to Level 5 hospitals, Kshs4.298 billion as allocation towards free maternal healthcare, Kshs0.9 billion as compensation for gone-user fees at county The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
