ODM leader Raila Odinga has outlined three critical issues that Kenya has to solve to avoid a similar standoff witnessed in the Senate regarding revenue sharing formula. "We must urgently return to debating how to create fair and equal chances for every Kenyan to participate optimally in national productivity and wealth creation," he said. In a statement on Friday, Raila said Kenya's productivity as a nation is way below the demands of our population. The former premier noted that it is urgent that we all support the proposal to increase the share of revenue to counties. "In the BBI reforms, we had proposed to raise the minimum percentage of national revenue from 15 to 35 per cent," he said.
