For example, why should we retain the current formula that is used by the CRA in a county that does so poorly in revenue collection or performance? We should look into those criteria and have a formula. There are some factors that should be factored in. For example, Homa Bay County is a disease burden. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and maternal death are the highest in the country. How comes those issues are not factored in when funds are being given to counties? In many other counties, you can also have some disparities in that kind of area. Allocating revenues should be a ritual as one Member said. We should sit down and have proper analysis, so that when we give money, we know why it is being given."}
