Mr Duale noted that unless the Senate is stopped, the same mode of voting was bound to be applied on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2020, which allocates money equitably to all the 47 counties. The mediated reports on the County Government (Amendment) Bills by Senators Kipchumba Murkomen (Elgeyo Marakwet) and Mutula Kilonzo Junior had been approved by the Senate on April 21. 11 by Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo junior is on the dissolution of a county government. The other report on the County Government (Amendment) Bill by Mr Murkomen is on how the position of the deputy governor should be filled whenever a vacancy occurs. As such, Mr Duale noted that what he had raised is a pertinent question that needs to be answered before the House proceeds to approve the mediated versions of the two Senate Bills.
