• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are well aware that the County Allocation of Revenue Act emanates from the Senate. So, we are also creating a provision within this Bill such that if we are giving our counties the minimum 15 per cent, then the Senate would share that 15 per cent amongst the counties by way of a resolution. We are also guaranteeing them that once such a resolution is transmitted to the National Assembly, it must muster a two-thirds majority to amend it. Therefore, the National Assembly cannot easily reject such a resolution by the Senate. This is, again, ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The resolution, as passed, is to constitute Parliament’s explicit authorisation to the Controller of Budget to disburse funds to county governments at the commencement of a new financial year.

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: legislation that would give a solution to that existing lacuna in law where the Division of Revenue Bill has not been agreed to before the end of the preceding financial year. Therefore, I thought this Bill would be a very ingenious way to offer that solution of filling that gap in law and offer a practical solution to the problems that we have seen this year.

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I do not want to go to the issues relating to the Division of Revenue Bill but it has not been a very good experience for both Houses of Parliament. Therefore, it is only fair that the two Houses of Parliament, the Council of Governors, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), the national Executive and the county executives engage each other on issues to do with division of revenue and share the resources equitably so as to allow services to continue being offered in the counties. I, therefore, hope and pray that our good Senators will also pass this Bill ... view

As I said when I was moving, it is an ingenious way of resolving a pertinent question on the issues surrounding the Division of Revenue Bill. I clarified that it is not in any way intended to replace the Division of Revenue Bill. Therefore, since it is a Bill relating to counties, when it is transmitted to the other House, and we have since engaged well with the Senators, it will be passed as it is and give ... view
