Knowing Raila he will now say he meant 40% of government expenditures, I.e. including loans and grants. These people can sink us into bottomless pit if not checked  Even without the loans/grants: Ksh. 226 B for county governments and Ksh. 799 B for national governments can never make a 43%:57% ratio, danganya jinga!!!! I would love to see more money go to the county. for that reason i would vote YES. however, the same counties do not have much track record for development and most of the money is going to people's pockets in form of travel allowances and salaries and entertainment and other miscellaneous expenses. That leaves me wondering if I would trust that much money in these hands..... so, am in dilemma here because this is a catch 22. To leave the money with a wolf or to give it to a hyena... Not so fast @Wendz..the original 15%, now 43% courtesy of uhuruto, was carefully worked out % based on the division of functions between the 2 levels of govts...if we change the %, the functions change too, i am interested to know if Cord have worked out what additional functions they want taken to counties to absorb this additional funding, or thy just want some blanket cheque for counties to do whatever they want with additional cash!!!Plus what interest does Cord have taking this to referendum? Why not take the matter to council of governors / commission of revenue allocation??
