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


Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly 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!!!!


County budget comes from audited revenues a function of PAC which is run by CORD. The last report they did I think was 2011/2012. What you should be doing is asking them to do their job and politic less.

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...

You don't get it do you? The referendum is to change this so that we have 40% of current collections!!!

What's the track record with the 15% that is already in use? That's excluding machakos coz those ones are on a league of their own.

I was responding to your 226B since you pretend not to get where it's coming from. Good luck with the change to allocating what is yet to be collected.

We need a full report on where the counties currently are, what I know for sure is that something is happening in mashinani that would be happening were it not for devolution!!!

I say we should also get the track record of the 85% for comparison purposes. For the records counties have been getting over 32% of audited reports since they began working. That not withstanding pegging revenue due to counties at 15% of audited collections setting the bar too low

So is disbursements done b4 or after collection? And the remaining 60% is it spent in the air? Any part of Kenya not in some county!? Surely 4 someone to bring referendum on such a matter and expect government to vigorously campaign NO is taking dumbness to a whole new level!
