• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Lastly, let me beg them to also respect institutions.

Lastly, Article 203(1)(d) of the Constitution speaks as to what the Commission for Revenue Allocation should be doing. I think this is where CRA is failing this country in terms of being able to determine the cost of functions. Article 203(1) (d) says that in determining what amount should be allocated to which level of Government, we should look at the need to ensure that county governments are able to perform the functions allocated to them. That is where CRA has a role to cost the functions ... view
