Article 96(3) says: “The Senate determines the allocation of national revenue among counties, as provided in Article 217, and exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to the county governments”. view

It is simply because of issues relating to the expenditure of the money allocated to the counties by the Senate. It will actually be shocking if the governors will not appear before the Senate. It is not a matter of choice; it is actually mandatory. The use of the word “shall” shows that they have no choice but to appear. view

He promised that the Kshs6 billion which was set aside for the presidential run-off would be given to the women and the youth of this country. I also wish to thank this House for approving this allocation in the 2013/2014 Financial Year. That is why it is now possible to discuss this Fund.

• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: today is the unemployment of young people. I believe in every constituency in this country that is the challenge facing these hon. Members.
