The Senate House leadership is currently being hosted by President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House ahead of this afternoon's crucial vote on the third basis for revenue sharing among the 47 counties. Those in the meeting include Speaker Kenneth Lusaka, Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio and his minority counterpart Senator James Orengo. The lawmakers head into the high-stakes sitting a divided house, even after Speaker Kenneth Lusaka postponed last week’s debate to allow for consensus building. On Monday, they failed to hold an informal meeting (Kamukunji) as ordered by Lusaka to strike a balance ahead of Tuesday’s sitting. The panel recommended to the leaders to consult President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga for further consensus-building.
