    "content": "we talk about land - this also came out very well through the CRA - we are talking about the cost of service delivery. The cost of delivery is a question of looking at how to offer services regardless of the type or shape of a county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, arguments have been put forward that you cannot calculate a radius of an irregular shape. We want to dispel this myth. As long as you have the shape of the area, you can calculate the radius. In attributing this parameter, we need to ask: how much does it cost you to move from Point “A” to “B” to offer services? If an extension officer or a surgeon is moving from Point “A” to “B”, what is the distance? Instead of using square kilometers, what distance does that person travel, so that they can offer the services? That is all we need on the parameter of land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other one is Urban Service. We allocated 4 per cent to this parameter. We are aware that through other means and donor funding, there is concentration in helping urban centres. A good example is the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), where the national Government has come in and can always chip in and help the urban areas. We decided to give the Urban Service parameter 4 per cent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the eighth parameter is Roads. The measure should be rural access index. This is information that was given by the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) and published in 2018. For this purpose, we actually used it as it was. We have not updated the data that had been given in 2018, so that we can stabilize the issues of sharing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last but not least is the fiscal effort. We are encouraging counties to increase generated revenue. We gave it 1 per cent."
