Senate Fails To Agree On County Revenue Sharing Formula - For The 8th Time
Aug 11, 2020
For a record 8th time, The Senate has failed to agree on the best formula to share resources among counties. Amid unruly scenes and senators cussing each other out, the speaker, Kenneth Lusaka, was forced to adjourn the sitting until August 13, when they will give it another go. Senators were heard shouting “shame, shame, shame” or “curfew, curfew, curfew”, depending on if they agreed with the speaker or not. Vihiga Senator George Khaniri had foreseen the scenario and moved a motion that would allow senators to finish debate on the controversial formula before they adjourned, but that was trashed as curfew time approached.
I order that we reconvene on Thursday to look at the two amendments and make a determination on the main nini” Lusaka, the Speaker, ruled. Earlier, the senate had passed the Linturi Proposal that required counties to share Ksh 270 billion equally, while the remainder of the Ksh.316 billion is subjected to the third generation revenue sharing formula. Senators that call themselves Team Kenya wanted to end the debate at that juncture, even as other senators vehemently opposed the move.
