Can't believe in 21st century none of our politicians can explain the problem with revenue sharing formula and why we should either change it or abolish devolution all together.

They can't relate Kenya's high level of debt with the way money is shared? If you keep giving more money to counties that contribute least to the national kitty, meaning less and less of the resources are being reinvested, you will reach a time when your business us no longer sustainable.

Economics 101, give more money where it is generating growth and you'll have bigger basket from which even the marginalized can get more.

If we don't change the formula to reinvest and generate more, we're looking at our revenue dwindling with time and the country defaulting in debt obligations in near future

One man, One vote, One shilling.

If you think baba has endorsed the bill, then you probably don't know what the bill entails.

Sijui kelele ni ya nini. Watu wanajazana south c na isilii then when it comes to revenue sharing you complain. If you go to kajiado town you wouldn't know you are in the middle of maa land. Let's all be happy that today we are more integrated than 20 years ago. When money is taken from wajir to develope kajiado and kiambu where you have decided to settle then what is wrong with that?
I saw one mp boasting that he has 10children but he forgot to tell us they all reside somewhere in Nairobi or its environs.

That sessional paper produced better results than TZ's Ujamaa. Actually, this dishing of money to counties is socialism through the back door. Show me a country which did not end with a debt crisis if their economic model was to borrow money from international markets and then dish the same to a nondescript governor who hasn't yet decided what to do with the money. Those counties they're claiming are more developed, were they given money earlier so as to attain their current development levels?

This discussion is better understood when we consider mashinani silly politics, for example, Kajiado North contributes over 40% of the county revenue, but it get peanuts in return. Talk of stopping Farasi to wait for punda. Then wonder why Africa is poor.

The CRA made a proposal which was thereafter panel-beaten to lay more emphasis on the population of each county. What is in contention is this panel-beaten bill which is different from the original CRA proposal. RAO has endorsed the CRA version which is different from the bill which is before the Senate. In other words, RAO has endorsed a bill which is NOT before the Senate.

This is so true. Indeed if you throw in Kitengela, then well over 50% of the wealth in Kajiado county is domiciled here. The same wealth is distributed to the arid and semi-arid areas of the county with the original producers of the wealth getting peanuts.

As if that is not bad enough, the other day the county in their wisdom, decided to merge/devolve the rich and efficient Oloolaiser water company with other loss-making water companies domiciled in the county. The net effect of this action was to use the huge oloolaiser water company resources to finance the other moribund water companies in the County. This is ole Lenku's wisdom.

Who 'won' in the voting?
