"content": "allocations to county governments. There are also conditional grants which are raised from loans and grants, which are provided through the National Treasury based on agreements with various development partners. The Bill also provides for the publishing of monthly reports, as I said, by the national Government on national transfers of all allocations to county governments. It also provides for the county treasury to reflect the total allocations from the national Government separately in the County Finance Bill and reflect all transfers in the books of accounts. As I mentioned, in terms of the objectives, the Bill provides for the allocation of an equitable share of revenue raised nationally among the county governments, in accordance with the resolutions approved by Parliament, under Article 217 of the Constitution, for the Financial Year 2018/2019. Pursuant to Article 187(2) and 202(2) of the Constitution, the Bill also provides for the conditional allocation for the Financial Year 2018/2019. The Bill also provides for the facilitation of transfer of allocations made to counties under this Act from the Consolidated Fund to the respective County Revenue Funds. In the Bill, we have four Schedules and the total transfers to the county governments this financial year, as provided for in the Bill, is Kshs372,741,930,770. Consequently, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2018 through the Schedules proposes to allocate a total of Kshs372,741,930,770 whose breakdown is as follows:- (a) Kshs314 billion from equitable share of revenue; (b) Kshs25.5 billion conditional allocation from the share of national government revenues; and, (c) Kshs33,241,930,770 conditional allocations from loans and grants from development partners. The conditional allocations from national revenues include lease of medical equipment, Kshs9.4 billion and compensation for user fee forgone. This is money that counties used to charge patients going to hospital. They are not collecting that now and, having forgone that, they will be getting Kshs900 million. Level 5 hospitals will get Kshs4,326,000,000. These are the former provincial hospitals and a few others like Kiambu that have joined that league. The other part is supplement for construction of county headquarters. A few counties are being supported by the national Government through this Conditional Grant to build their headquarters. These are five counties, one of them being Nyandarua. There is also Isiolo and three others. These will build a model office block and whoever wants to build offices later will have to use the same because they are not very expensive as some people think. It is a grant to those counties. The next one is rehabilitation of youth polytechnics, Kshs2 billion, which will be divided among the 47 counties. The other one is road maintenance levy, Kshs8,269,000,000. It is 15 per cent of the total collection of road fuel levy. In fact, there was clamour to raise this figure to 20 per cent."
