Debate on the formula had been expected Tuesday, but was deferred to Thursday after it emerged negotiations are still ongoing. EQUITABLE SHAREABLE REVENUEIn the 2020/21 financial year, counties were allocated Sh316.5 billion in equitable shareable revenue, which in the absence of the formula cannot be shared among the counties. Senators have rejected the formula that was developed by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), which they describe as polarising because it perpetuates inequalities among devolved units. Members of the ad hoc committee are senators Irungu Kang’ata (Murang’a), Mutula Kilonzo (Makueni), Ledama Olekina (Narok) and Margaret Kamar (Uasin Gishu). Both Mr Ali and Mr Olekina have a similar amendment, bar the percentage.
