These Articles must be interpreted conjointly with Article 218. A prudent interpretation of the Constitution, therefore, means that the National Assembly performs its function of determining the allocation of national revenue between the levels of government by introducing a Division of Revenue Bill. Similarly, the Senate performs its function of determining the allocation of revenue among counties by introducing a County Allocation of Revenue Bill. Indeed, Article 110(2) categorises the County Allocation of Revenue Bill as a special Bill concerning county governments, which is considered in accordance with Article 111. Under Article 111, the National Assembly requires a two-thirds majority to change or reject a County Allocation of Revenue Bill passed by the Senate. In originating the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the Senate will be living up to its constitutional mandate as enshrined in Article The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
