    "content": "ESTABLISHMENT OF PARLIAMENTARY FRIENDSHIP GROUPS BETWEEN PAKISTAN, CHINA, SOUTH KOREA AND THE SENATE OF KENYA Hon. Senators, I have a brief communication to make. I have received requests from the Parliaments of Pakistan, China and South Korea on the need to establish Parliamentary Friendship Groups between the respective institutions and the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. Parliamentary Friendship Groups are significant avenues for strengthening parliamentary diplomacy between parliaments. The registration forms have been placed at the Chamber entrance for you to register at the earliest opportunity. I, therefore, wish to request you to join any of the proposed Parliamentary Friendship Groups as you wish. I thank you. RETREAT ON EQUITABLE SHARING OF REVENUE AMONG COUNTY GOVERNMENTS Hon. Senators, I have another communication on the upcoming retreat on equitable sharing of revenue among the county governments. As you may be aware, Article 216(1(b) and 217(2)(b) of the Constitution provide that the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) shall recommend the basis for sharing revenue among county governments to the Senate for consideration. Thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of Article 217(1) of the Constitution as read together with Section 16 of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution, the Senate shall, by resolution, determine the basis for allocating among the counties the share of national revenue that is annually allocated to the county level of governments. Hon. Senators, you may recall further that arising from the numerous concerns by the stakeholders, a retreat was held in Mombasa on 16th October, 2015 where the CRA presented simulations on the proposed formula and it was left to the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget to give its final recommendations on the suggested formula as provided by the CRA. The Committee has deliberated on the matter and come up with a proposal on how the CRA should prepare the simulations. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
