After months of mistrust in the Senate on revenue sharing formulae,a deal has been struck.
The Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata proposal on one vote one shilling was voted by the senate.
The deal was arrived at when the Council of Governors had ordered the shut of non-essential services at the counties following lack of resources.
The stalemate has existed since February and accelerated after the budget.
In the deal, none of the counties lost a share as it had been expected in areas with a low population.
The governors accused the senators of having lost interest in the revenue allocation after they were allegedly compromised by outside forces
In the allocation, the counties got the share as follows
Nakuru from 10.4B to 13B (+2.5B)
Kiambu from 9.4B to 11.7b (+2.28b)
TURKANA from 10.5B to 12.6B (+2.B)
