• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Article 96(3) of the Constitution states - and this is where I want this House to engage its mind to: “The Senate determines the allocation of national revenue among counties, as provided in Article 217, and exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to the county governments.” That is what we called the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. So, the role of the Senate only comes in to determine allocation among the counties and not between the two levels of Government. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker, Sir.

There is no mention of Division of Revenue Bill. If you go to the ordinary Bill, it says: “An ordinary Bill which shall be considered under Article 112.” view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I realize that the Division of Revenue Bill in the Constitution does not have to go to the Senate and I want to demonstrate further that we are likely to face a constitutional crisis if you refer the Division of Revenue Bill to the Senate.

Therefore, whether we like it or not, this is something that we need to give to county governments and have the county governments think of the best ways to restructure these corporations.
