• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: 26) The Senate resolves that pursuant to Article 217 (1) of the Constitution, the Third Basis for sharing revenue among counties, for the Financial Year 2020/2021 to 2024/2025 be as follows – a) Equitable share not exceeding Kshs. 316.50 billion The following formula shall apply CAi1= Allocation per County for FY 2019/20 b) Equitable share over and above Kshs. 316.50 billion The following formula shall apply CAi2 view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the formula is that for any amount of Kshs316.5 billion and below, the allocations shall be as per the 2019/2020 allocation to counties, and that does not change. If your county had Kshs8 billion, you will have a minimum of Kshs8 billion. If your county had Kshs10 billion, you will have a minimum of Kshs10 billion. Any amount above that, will then be applied based on the formula. The reason for doing this is because we have had to think as Kenyans and make painful decisions. I am view

• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: the Senator for Nairobi City County. In the previous proposal of the Committee, my county was going to gain Kshs100 million, which is 0.6 per cent of our allocation. An amount of Kshs100 million here is not the same as Kshs100 million in Garissa, Turkana, Wajir or Tharaka-Nithi. What would it benefit the people of Nairobi - and many of the 4.3 million people that I represent also come from other counties - to gain 0.6 per cent and have our colleagues lose 25 per cent or 30 per cent of their budget? It will not be right and patriotic. ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I go to the formula which came, I want to make it clear because Kenyans must know and we must debunk some of the myths that have been peddled. First, there was no Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) proposal before the House today. It was not the CRA formula; it was a formula that was originally CRAs’ and amended by the Committee. Therefore, no one has rejected the CRA formula. Secondly, I need to be clear on this and I will demonstrate. With regard to the one man-one shilling principle, Nairobi would be the biggest beneficiary. ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for Laikipia County with a population of 518,000 people, if it is ‘one man-one shilling’, it should be getting Kshs3.4 billion. However, Laikipia is getting view

• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Kshs4 billion in the first proposal and Kshs5 billion in the second proposal. Do we want ‘one man-one shilling’ to reduce the allocation to Laikipia or Kirinyaga? Let me show you Nyeri County because the Senator is here. Nyeri has a population of 759,000. You have been receiving Kshs5.4 billion and the new proposal is Kshs6 billion. If it is ‘one man-one shilling,’ Sen. (Eng.) Maina, you will receive Kshs5 billion, which is Kshs1 billion less. We must demystify this notion. If it was one man-one shilling, Kiambu County should be getting Kshs16 billion, yet they are getting Kshs10 billion. ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just leave that because it is not about understanding the concept. In the Republic of Kenya, I was the first person to write on fiscal decentralization more than ten years ago. I understand this formula very well. The examples I am giving are for illustrative purposes. Lastly, and I was going to give you a different county, for example, Siaya County, which is Sen. Orengo’s county, with 900,000 people if it is ‘one man-one shilling’, it will get Kshs6.6 billion and they have been getting Kshs6.7 billion. These discrepancies are there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the ... view
