Mr. Chairman, Sir, the reasons for that proposed amendment is that if you read that clause you will find that it reads:- “The object and purpose of this Act is to provide for- (c) the financing and continuation of ongoing services in accordance with Article 187(2) and 203(1)(d) of the Constitution.” Mr. Chairman, Sir, our joint Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that Clause 4 be amended – (a) By renaming the present Clause as sub-clause 1. (b) Inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after Clause 1 – “Where the allocation of monies to a county reserves in a county being allocated, an amount that is less than the amount commensurate to the cost of functions devolved to the county, the national Government shall provide to such counties an allocation amounting to the difference between the cost of functions devolved to the county and the allocated amount”.

• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 be amended in the definition of the term “conditional allocations” by deleting the words “conditional allocations” appearing at the commencement of the definition and substituting therefor with the words “conditional grants.” The rationale is simple. The Constitution refers to conditional grants. These are grants which are given whether conditional or unconditional by the national government. They are conditional grants and not conditional allocations. So, we thought that should be amended. view

• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to second the Division of Revenue Bill that is on the Floor of this House. This is the first such Bill that this Senate is dealing with since the promulgation of the new Constitution in 2010. It is a very important Bill because it lays the precedent for the future allocation of revenue between the national Government and the counties. This is one of the most important roles of the counties. Indeed, in the Constitution, the single most important role of the Senate is to protect the interests of the counties. There is ... view
