This is where the problem is. We are using immutable factors together with mutable factors to arrive at a formula. The biggest problem now is that, as we are talking about services, many of us are now going to be asking where the other factors are and it has started. We are asking: Where is water? If you are putting agriculture as a factor, does it mean livestock or does it mean fisheries? What is the scope of agriculture? To what extent are the other factors that are listed here in the name of health? On health, the more you have better facilities and the more you have better access, the lesser money you are supposed to be given. There are big problems here that need to be looked into much more adequately. Moving forward, because this is a formula we are going to be using for three years, it is important that CRA starts re-considering certain amendments to it. Some of the factors need to be checked afresh such that Kenyans get to be happy with what is going on. When we get formula that are becoming very complex - and we are talking about mathematical sigma here - very many people, including my good friend T.J, will ask what all these are. The mathematical sigmas are misunderstood by many and, at the end of the day, nobody will The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
