"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What we are discussing before the House is the Fourth Basis for the national revenue sharing. Since the promulgation of the new Constitution, we have had three national revenue sharing formulas. This is the fourth. Every five years, a new formula is developed where the national revenue allocated to counties is shared among them. Many parameters have been used in the past when considering the allocation and sharing of these resources among counties. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "One of the prominent formulas used in the past is the population parameter. It was used to decide how much money goes to each county. Some counties are highly populated while others have a low population. The highly populated ones have received more allocation than those with a low population. This consideration is a very good parameter and is used in most jurisdictions like India and many other countries that have embraced devolution. If the population is high, you are likely to get more resources. The reason is that if the population is very high, you need more resources to provide services to the population."
