Governors led by the C.O.G Chair Wycliffe Oparanya moved to court on Tuesday on the issue of sharing of revenue by National Government. CRA had proposed 335bn to be allocated to counties, the senate scaled it down to 327bn while the national assembly wanted to reduce it to 310bn against 314bn of last year citing lack of development and corruption in the counties. They however passed the appropriation bill and allocated 316bn to counties.
Today the Senate led by the speaker Kennedy Makelo Lusaka have moved to court over National Assembly irregular bills, a total of 24 bills that were passed without the review of the Senate including the Revenue Appropriation bill that was ascended to by the president.
It is just a game of musical chairs being played between the executive, national assembly and the senate. One would think that before the President ascents to any bill he must seek advice from the A.G on the illegality or otherwise. Majority leader in the senate is Kipchumba Murkomen, Majority leader in the National Assembly is Duale both from Jubilee, both speakers of the houses are from the Jubilee side of the government, how can they tell us that they can never agree on something like that?
