Article 205 (1) provides that when a Bill that includes provisions dealing with the sharing of revenue, or any financial matter concerning county governments is published, the Commission on Revenue Allocation shall consider those provisions and may make recommendations to the National Assembly and the Senate. Any recommendation made by the Commission shall be tabled in Parliament and the House shall consider the recommendation before voting on the Bill. The question is: Have those provisions of law been adhered to? Have we discussed any recommendations of the Commission in regard to this Bill? Those recommendations are the so-called formula.

It is only the Senate which discussed those The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."}
