8 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I totally support the Committee and reject the Senate amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill. Article 203(2)(3) of the Constitution provides that for every financial year, the equitable share of the revenue raised nationally that is allocated to the county governments shall be not less than 15 per cent of all revenue collected by the national Government. The amount referred to in Sub-article (2) shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent audited accounts of revenue received, as approved by the National Assembly.

8 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Why is the Constitution very explicit in Article 203? There must be a reason. These provisions were to ensure that allocations to counties are predictable. That is why it says “not less than 15 per cent.” This provision in the Constitution makes allocations to county governments to be very predictable.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second and thank the Chair of the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee for rising to the occasion and bringing this very important National Cohesion and Integration (Amendment) Bill 2019.

I am sure those of us who were in the 10th Parliament, Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Millie, participated in the legislation of this Act.
