President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Mt Kenya backyard counties are finding themselves isolated as the debate on the new formula proposed for the allocation of revenue to devolved units continues to rage. The proposed formula, if adopted, will determine how the 47 countries share the national cake for the next five years. According to the proposed formula, Kiambu would get Sh986 million more from the previous year’s allocation. Kirinyaga gets Sh779 million more, Laikipia gets Sh538 million, Nyandarua Sh401 million, Embu Sh392 million, Nyeri Sh277 million and Murang'a Sh92 million. Nairobi has opportunity to collect billions of shillings outside of the revenue allocated,” she explained.
