    "content": "RETREAT OF THE SENATE WITH THE COMMISSION ON REVENUE ALLOCATION Hon. Senators, at a meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget with the Commission on Revenue Allocation on 8th July, 2015, it was resolved that there was need to hold a retreat for all Senators to discuss the second criteria for revenue sharing among County Governments. Article 96(3) of the Constitution mandates the Senate to determine the allocation of national revenue among counties. Further, Article 217 requires the Senate to determine once every five years the basis for allocating among the counties the share of the national revenue that is annually allocated to the county level of Government. To this end, there shall be a retreat between the Senate and Commission on Revenue Allocation from 15th October to 18th October, 2015 at Serena Hotel, Mombasa County, courtesy of Sen. Hassan. Please, mark your calendar. The travel dates will be 15th and return on 18th. All Members are encouraged to attend the retreat and contribute substantially in the discussions on the second criteria of revenue sharing. The Senate must be on the forefront in determining the fate of the counties and the parameters to be used in allocating national revenue to the counties. I hope that will be a fruitful occasion. Thank you."
