MEMORANDUM OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

Statement of the Objects and Reasons for the Bill

The principal object of the Bill is to provide for payments out of the Equalisation Fund for the financial year 2023/2024. The Equalisation Fund is established under Article 204(1) of the Constitution to facilitate the provision of basic services including water, roads, health facilities and electricity to marginalised areas to the extent necessary to bring the quality of those services in those areas to the level generally enjoyed by the rest of the nation, so far as possible. This Bill therefore proposes a legal framework for the issuance of monies out of the Equalisation Fund to counties in which marginalized areas fall for the provision of crucial basic services.

Statement on the delegation of legislative powers and limitation of fundamental rights and freedoms

The Bill does not delegate legislative powers nor does it limit fundamental rights and freedoms.

Statement of how the Bill concerns County Governments

The Bill seeks to provide for the issuance out of the Equalisation Fund of monies to provide certain services in marginalized areas. These services include water, roads and health which are devolved functions under Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution. The Bill is therefore one that concerns county governments in terms of Article 110 (1) (a) of the Constitution as its provisions affect the functions and powers of county governments as set out in the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution.

Statement that the Bill is not a money Bill within the meaning of Article 114 of the Constitution

The Bill is a money Bill within the meaning of Article 114 of the Constitution. However, as it contains provisions that affect the functions of county governments under Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution the Bill is not a money Bill for purposes of Article 109(5) of the Constitution.

Dated the 18th July, 2023.

Chairperson, Committee on Finance and Budget.
