Governors from Mt. Kenya have revived the push for the one man, one vote campaign as the commission on revenue allocation now kickstarts views collection on the 4th revenue sharing formula.
Speaking at a roundtable meeting with Commissioner of Revenue Allocation (CRA) commissioners at Nairobi’s Movenpick hotel, the governors insisted on a formula that speaks to the region’s prowess for production, insisting the three earlier formulas have greatly been designed to take away from the region.
Nyeri County governor Mutahi Kahiga called on the CRA to allocate resources as per a region’s contribution to the national cake as opposed to equal treatment at the table.
Consequently, Kahiga who is also the chairman of the Central Region Economic Bloc (CEREB) urged for the adoption of a baseline shareable revenue amount that would largely go into operations of a county before any other parameter is used.
On its part, the CRA said it will seek common views from the different economic blocs with the aim of including their views in the final report that would form the 4th generation revenue sharing formula.
