Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move that the Senate amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.3 of 2020) be now considered. You remember we passed this Bill just before we went on short recess earlier in the year. It was relayed to the other House, and they did amend what we had passed. Having considered the amendments made by the Senate, we have resolved to concur with them. The main point of departure between our proposals and those of the Senate is how to treat the shareable revenue The electronic version of the Official ...

Hon. Speaker, I had a mask, but when everybody moved away from me I considered that I was all alone in this region. I am at liberty to put it back. Of course, having gone to Alliance, I have a 3M mask that is N-95.

I can see the Leader of the Minority Party complaining that Parliament has facilitated him with a surgical mask that is three ply. They are equally good. But the N-95, with a cartridge, is much better than what you are wearing, Hon. Mbadi. Back to business, I was saying the Senate deleted the original provision of the National Assembly that was making provision for setting aside the equitable share amount that was due to the Nairobi City County, which we had said shall be retained in the Consolidated Fund to meet part of the cost of functions transferred to the ...

Government to be able to perform these tasks, to avoid a protracted mediation process that may well go into the better part of the year. You remember last year but one we had a mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill and it took us close to November to even agree on the final figures of the shareable revenue.

dedicate more resources to healthcare and the departments dealing with water. I want to encourage county governments to look, not just at this financial year’s Budget, but also to reconsider the Budget that they had proposed for the next financial year and institute posterity measures that will bring savings. This is because the impact on our revenues will not just be at the national, but also at the county level. With those remarks, I beg to move. I request the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi to second.
