Governors appeal for funding and end stalemate

The Senate enters the ninth  time to deliberate on strategies on how the funds  will be disbursed  to  counties, as a new proposal by Senator Petronella Were  emerges.

The third  Generational Revenue Sharing Allocation Formulae has generated a lot of political heat and tension between the possible gainers and losers

 Last week, a proposal by Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja forced the seventh session postponed, as his proposal differed with one fronted by Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata.

As the senators head   for the deliberations, council of governors through its chairman Wycliffe Oparanya pleaded for the support of Were’s proposal.

Debate on the sharing of funds have been a thorn in the flesh in the senate with counties in North and Coast regions protesting the reduction of the allocations.

 As the counties protest sharing of funds through one man one shilling formulae, senators from Mt Kenya have ganged up to support the proposal on claims they have been marginalized for long despite their huge population.

 The counties have raised alarm over pending sabotage of their operations including the health services if the matter will be finalized by the senate
