Kang'ata:Away from Third Generation Formulae politics

 Every weekend, the senator cools his heels by being with the electorates, while strategizing for the next maneuvers of the third revenue allocation formulae that has met stiff opposition in the senate.

  This weekend the senator has been distributing relief food to the needy persons in Kahuro and Kandara sub counties.

 Other leaders in the county who have been involved in food distribution are MPs Peter Kimari (Mathioya), Mary Wamaua (Maragua), Joseph Ngugi (Gatanga) and Sabina Chege( Murang’a).

Speaking at Kahuro the senator said there was need for all to be considerate to other peoples’ needs, especially during this pandemic.

  On Monday, the government backed formulae of revenue allocation to the counties failed leading to formation of a committee to look into modalities that will enable disbursement.

Kang’ata introduced the formulae based on one man one shillings perceived to favour densely populated counties  as opposed to the  previous method.

Mt Kenya region leaders have backed the government proposal citing in the past they have been marginalized  in the allocation  as compared to counties in Northern and Coastal Kenya.

 Delay by the senate to agree on the formulae has disrupted development and plans at the counties, with many of the function headed to a grid halt.
