    "content": "As of today, Kenyans have lost thousands to this pandemic and are still dealing with this pandemic. In this session, the Senate has been able to come out strongly in terms of oversight not just on the pandemic, but also on county governments. It has been a tough year in many respects, but it has been a year of growth. It has been a year where we have been seen to do our work as a House--- It has been a year of growth and where we have been seen to do our work as a House. Sen. Olekina acknowledged the work we have done, not just from ‘team Kenya’ but across the isle as Sen. Kang’ata said. We reestablished the place of this House because of two things. Number one, the amendment of the formula. It was not on population; Nairobi has the highest population but was number 28. With what we did we were able to get our rightful share based on not just population but other factors. If you add the BBI’s proposed 35 per cent, counties from the next year if it is passed next year before the next financial year get Kshs475 billion. This is 35 per cent of the last audited revenue of Kshs1.3 trillion, whose 35 per cent is Kshs475 billion. Nairobi county will get Kshs25 billion. Narok County will get Kshs10.8 billion. Kilifi County should get Kshs14.4 billion. Kisii County should get Kshs11.2 billion under BBI."
