• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2020) be now read a Second Time. The House will recall that we passed the Division of Revenue Bill 2020/2021 and Kshs339.8 billion enabling it to be allocated to counties. This is made up of Equitable Share of Kshs316.5 billion as set out in the First Schedule to the Bill. The second is the conditional allocations from the national Government share of Revenue - Kshs.23.16 billion - as indicated in Schedule No.2 of the Bill. Third is conditional allocations as loans and ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: finalized to date. The law under Article 217 of the Constitution requires that Parliament, by resolution of both Houses, adopts a new formula as submitted by Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA). The House is aware that we have gone through that substantially, but because of the situation we are in today, we have not been able to finalise it. The County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) has been introduced as required under Article 218(b) of the Constitution, which required that the Bill be introduced two months before the end of the financial year so that counties can do their budgets. ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns of the Senators. I believe that what they have said is correct. The Committee is not hiding anything; it has been grappling with that formula. In fact, before Covid-19, we had planned for a three-day retreat for CRA to take us through the formula, the parameters and the data that they use. There are things, for example, hospital visits and facility gaps which we do not have with us and we wanted the CRA to bring before us. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: I do not expect people to cast aspersions on our Committee that we are hiding something. We are not hiding anything. In fact, we wanted to have a two-day informal session to go through this together. I assure you that we told CRA to provide further simulations. This is because the parameters and percentage have been set--- view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he has had his time. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the HANSARD has recorded and I will be cleared. As the Chairperson of this Committee, we have done a lot for this House. It should be on record that I am not hiding anything. I know the thinking behind some Members. We will bring this. Give us the time and facilities so that we can go through it. For the time being, I will not go further. With the reasoning given by the Members of the Senate, I withdraw the Bill. It is not reasonable to go to the Second Reading. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: We elect not to proceed further with this Bill. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we want the CRA to take Members through the formula of all the parameters. So, Members should be ready. The Report will be submitted to us by the CRA then we forward to you. A week will be short. I will discuss with the Office of the Clerk to see how to go about it. Thereafter, we require this matter to go to the National Assembly. They must agree with it so that we have the formula done. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, let me say this: We have no report. What we have is the CRA’s recommendation to us as a Committee, which they took us through two weeks ago. We will prepare a report now, but I think that by the time we come to the informal meeting, we need the CRA to take the members through their recommendations first. However, there is no report which we have actually finalized. view
