Senators and we agreed that it was important for us to engage more substantively before this particular Motion was moved. It is over one month since I made that communication. That means we had ample time to engage, consult, and try to see if we can have a give and take, so that once this matter is tabled, we do not have the acrimonious environment like it was witnessed sometimes back."

That opportunity was indeed made available to all of us. Hon. Senators, even if we are to allow for more consultation for maybe six months, we will still have some dissenting voices. I do not think we will be able to strike a 100 per cent agreement in this formula. Therefore, what remains is as what the Senator for Nairobi City County has just said: persuade your colleagues on the Floor of this House. In any event, hon. Senators, I did not want to rule the Senator for Vihiga County out of order, but to some extent, what he brought forward is in breach of our Standing Orders. It is an anticipation of a debate, because the Motion is yet to be moved, and we are actually debating the Motion before it was moved."

Pursuant to Standing Order No.62 of the Senate Standing Orders, I beg to move- THAT, the Senate notes the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the Fourth Basis for Allocating the Share of National Revenue Among the Counties, laid on the Table of the Senate on Thursday, 17th April, 2025, and that pursuant to Article 217(1) of the Constitution, approves the Fourth Basis for Allocating the Share of National Revenue Among the Counties for the Financial Years 2025/2026 to 2029/2030 as follows: - County Allocation = (Baseline Allocation Ratio*Ksh387.425 billion) + (Ksh2 billion shared equally among the identified 11 counties) + {[(0.45*Population Index) + (0.35*Equal Share Index) + (0.12*Poverty Index) + (0.08*Geographical Size Index)] *Additional County Equitable Share above Ksh 389.425 billion}. Where – i. Baseline Allocation Ratio = The allocation factor derived from each County’s allocation for the Financial Year 2024/2025; ii. The 11 identified counties are: - Elgeyo/Marakwet, Embu, Isiolo, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, Lamu, Nyamira, Samburu, Taita/Taveta, Tharaka Nithi and Vihiga; iii. The Population Index is based on the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census (KPHC); iv. The Poverty Index is based on the 2022 Kenya Poverty Report by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS); and v. Geographical Size is capped at 10%. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 217(1) of the Constitution of Kenya provides that once every five years, the Senate shall, by resolution, determine the basis of allocating, among counties, the share of nationally raised revenue annually allocated to the county level of government. Further, Article 216(1) of the Constitution provides that the principal function of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) is to make recommendations concerning the basis of equitable share of revenue raised by the national Government between the national Government and county governments and among the county governments using the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA).
