• 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.141 (1), I beg to move that The County Governments Grants Bill (Senate Bills No.35 of 2021) be now read the Second Time. As I mentioned yesterday, as I was going through the Cash Disbursement Schedule Motion, for the first time, we have a schedule that does not include conditional grants.

As the ... view

• 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Further, the Bill intends to comply with the High Court’s ruling on Petition No.252 of 2016. In this matter, the Court held that Article 202 of the Constitution, as read together with Article 218 (1) (a), do permit conditional or unconditional grants to be provided for in the annual Division of Revenue Act (DORA). The court held that such conditional or unconditional grants can be used at the county government level under Article 190 of the Constitution or through an agreement between the two levels of Government. The agreement should respect the institutional and functional integrity of both levels of ... view

• 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is where we got the departure where we could not combine the sharable revenue and the grants. The ruling that was made by the courts had a great impact in the manner in which conditional grants are managed in the country. Initially, they were included in the Division of Revenue Bill and consequently, the allocation done through the County Allocation of Revenue Act or (CARA). However, with the High Court ruling, this cannot be contained in the DORA and CARA. That is a departure from the tradition and in line with the direction given in the ... view
