Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Statement. With the current situation of climate change, the weather patterns have changed completely. Citizens cannot predict their own activities, for example, farmers or pastoralist because the rain patterns have changed. Therefore, they require a reliable source of forecasting to know how to adjust. That is why it is important to have the Kenya Metrological Department be up to date with their equipments. The situation we are in is that they cannot forecast accurately as it were. Therefore, there is need to know ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Division of Revenue Bill debate. This is one of the main responsibilities of this House; participating in the division of revenue of the equitable share amongst the National and the county governments, what is known as the vertical division. I always like to refer to the clauses. For example, in this case, Clause 5 of the Bill, which states very clearly in part one, in the event that there is under collection then the counties should get whatever they have been allocated and in the event ...

in mind always because, there was a time there was an attempt to reduce the revenues going to the county because there was under collection. If you look at the main items in the Schedule, we are talking of the total sharable revenue, then the National government, the equalization fund and the county funds. This year, the total sharable revenue is estimated to be Kshs2.114 trillion where the National government is to get Kshs1.764 trillion. Kenya shillings 7 billion is supposed to go to equalisation fund and the county government equitable share is proposed to be Kshs370 billion. It should ...

recommendations considered before Parliament passes any Bill appropriating money out of the Equalization Fund. This means, the fund will still be there; monies will still be going into that fund since the promulgation of this Constitution. It is only the usage which will require that CRA recommendation. The first CRA recommendation which was adopted by this House in the last Parliament was the funds going to 14 counties. If you look at what has been allocated to date, in the first three years since the promulgation of the Constitution 2010 that is from financial year 2011/2012 to 2013/2014, there was ...

If I may say, there was no goodwill in addressing marginalisation. That fund has not been utilised and proper deduction has not been done. Up to now, there is no implementation. The National Treasury should take serious action so that from this year

22 Mar 2022 in Senate:
and with the Advisory Board in place, we need to see how the Kshs25 billion that has been collected by now will be utilised. Madam Temporary Speaker, right now, we have the second formula by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) on recommendation, which covers many more parts of this country. This is because of the definition of “marginalised areas”. I hope there will be good news this time in utilising whatever has been collected, taking into account that it is not even the actual amount as per the Constitution, and so far, there has been no implementation. On the ...
