But the day just started on the wrong footing, especially for the divided Jubilee house, after a planned parliamentary group meeting to whip senators to back the formula aborted. However, a majority of senators, whose counties were either gaining or losing, led by Mr Kilonzo Junior, ganged up to oppose the committee report. “The third basis formula was predicated on shareable revenue of Sh345 billion or more. The CRA developed the formula as required by the Constitution and submitted it to the Senate on April 30, 2019. A majority of the senators favoured the proposal by Mr Kilonzo that reworks the CRA formula so that no county loses money, which would later be moved by Mr Sakaja.
