    "content": "given Kshs3 billion, equally shared among them, then the remained by shared using two hybrid formulas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to sincerely clarify because I have heard from a number of Senators contribute and make reference to the formula of the committee, as only the formula that carries the variables of population, equal share, poverty and geographical land size. The formula of the Committee is a hybrid formula where at Kshs387.425 billion and above, we have applied the Third Basis of revenue sharing to hold each county harmless. We have applied the formula of population, equal share, poverty and geographical land mass, whereby, population is at 45 per cent, equal share at 35 per cent, poverty at 12 per cent and at geographical land size at eight per cent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the subsequent amendment to carry the 12 counties that are getting very little money, meant that the money we are holding constant for purpose of holding harmless has increased from Kshs387 billion to Kshs390.425 billion, in order to get any additional amount beyond Kshs390 billion, to be shared using the second part of the formula, which is population at 45 per cent, equal share at 35 per cent, geographical land size at 8 per cent, and poverty at 14 per cent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have extensively debated this amendment. This position is that of consensus. I would like to second it and plead with my colleagues, the hon. Senators, to find it within themselves that we conclude voting on this formula, so that we are able to process the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (CARA), which will go to horizontal share of revenue between county governments as well as establishing the ceilings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. Thank you."
