    "content": " Hon. Senators, as you are aware, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), is an independent Commission set up under Article 215 of the Constitution of Kenya. Its core mandate is to recommend the basis for equitable sharing of revenues raised nationally between the national and the county governments, and among the county governments. As you may recall, the Report of the CRA Recommendation Concerning the Third Basis for Revenue Sharing among County Governments for Financial Years 2019/20 – 2023/24 was tabled in the Senate on 30th April, 2019 and committed to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. This Report, which is prepared in accordance with the provision of Article 216(1)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya, is very important as it forms the basis for equitable sharing of revenue raised nationally among the county governments. It is on this basis that the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget has organized a half-day consultative retreat with the CRA to discuss the Third Basis for Revenue Sharing among County Governments. The retreat is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 12th June, 2019 in Nairobi County starting 8.00 am. At the retreat, the Commission shall present the underpinning logic for the Third Basis for Revenue Sharing. Because of this important exercise, I direct all Committee Chairpersons not to schedule other meetings on that day. I therefore invite and urge all Honourable Senators to plan to attend this important retreat. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
