• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this House will recall that the Division of Revenue Bill was earlier introduced in this House when it came from the National Assembly. We sent it back with amendments and, thereafter, they rejected our amendments. The Bill went to mediation, which failed. It is now over a month since the mediation failed. Because of the stalemate that was there, this House, in its own wisdom, decided to republish the Bill under the Senate heading. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 218(1) of the Constitution provides that:- “At least two months before the end of each financial year, there shall be introduced in Parliament–– ( a ) a Division of Revenue Bill, which shall divide revenue raised by the national Government among the national and county levels of government in accordance with this Constitution;” So, according to Article 218(1), this Bill is properly before the House. view

This House is, therefore, properly guided in terms of bringing this Bill, which is now is attempting to divide revenue between the two levels of Government.

• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Commission that is mandated under the law to advise Parliament on revenue allocation between the two levels of Government. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Bill proposes to divide revenue between the two levels of Government as we put in the schedule. The projected total ordinary revenue is Kshs1.87 trillion, and the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) 2018, and the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) 2018, the funding to the county governments was Ksh314 billion. We have used that as a base and adjusted that figure for the three-year average inflation of 6.9 per cent. This will now translate to Kshs335.5 billion for county governments. view

This was supposed to have been a reduction of Kshs9 billion, which is illegal because DORA and CARA were not amended. Therefore, our base is Kshs314 billion, and then the right figure is to actually move that forward, because services are not stagnant. We should allow for inflation so that we can take care of the cost that would ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the Senate to quickly pass this Bill because there was an attempt last time by the National Assembly to pass the Appropriations Bill, which has been challenged by the Executive itself. We are aware that both levels of Government cannot proceed without the Division of Revenue Bill. Since we have the Bill, whether the other House introduces the Bill in that House and proceeds with it, which is within their right, it is also our right but no time, no Bill can pass without one House’s concurrence. Let us pass our Bill and as ... view
