The bills are aimed at giving the next set of Governors and MCAs a smooth take-off.

The Senate will focus on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and just like the budget.

The passage timelines of the Bill have been changed to factor in the August elections.

The House will also be keen on ensuring key laws touching on devolution are passed.

At the close of the second Legislative Summit in Mombasa last week, MCAs appealed to the Senators to fast track up to 10 Bills which they said hold the key to successful devolution.

Among the Bills the MCAs asked the Senate to pass before end of the session in June included The County Pensions Scheme Bill, the Intergovernmental Relations (Amendment) Bill, 2014 to entrench the Council of County Assemblies in law, the Impeachment Procedure Bill, 2016 to clarify the impeachment process and the Public Participation Bill, 2016.
