AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Some allies of Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga led in opposing a formula on the distribution of cash to counties, forcing the postponement of a Senate vote for the fifth time.<\/p>\n

President Uhuru Kenyatta is keen to have the disputed third-basis formula, which benefits populous counties, passed but has met resistance because expansive regions will lose close to Sh20 billion.\u00a0The formula has sharply divided senators, with those opposed to it vowing to shoot it down on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

They insist no county should lose cash, and if the formula is to be implemented, then more money should be allocated to counties.\u00a0Some 19 counties stand to lose funding, which means senators opposed to the formula only need the support of five others to reject it. However, The Standard learnt that more than 30 legislators are opposing it.<\/p>\n

A special sitting convened by Speaker Ken Lusaka to unlock the deadlock aborted as Uhuru\u2019s wing, though Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio, sought more time to build consensus after sensing defeat.\u00a0The sitting took a dramatic turn when angry senators began shouting, \u201cshame, shame, shame\u201d at the Speaker after he deferred the vote to Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did ask for this meeting as a special sitting for 10 am this morning (yesterday). My request now is, the mover (Finance Committee chair Senator Charles Kibiru) is not here, we consider adjourning,\u201d said Poghisio on a point of order.<\/p>\n

He was interjected several times by senators, despite Lusaka\u2019s attempts to bring the House to order.\u00a0\u201cI request as the Majority Leader that the meeting be held another time to make conclusions,\u201d Poghisio said, attracting numerous interventions from members.<\/p>\n

Reading the mood, Lusaka rose to his feet.\u00a0\u201cThe committee chair, Leader of Majority, requested for this meeting and it\u2019s a matter of grave concern. Therefore I want to ask the chair to hasten this process because it\u2019s taking too long. He must provide leadership,\u201d Lusaka said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, therefore, direct that the House adjourn until Tuesday 28th.\u201d\u00a0The House erupted into shouts of, \u201cNo\u201d and \u201cShame\u201d as Lusaka left the chamber.\u00a0Senators immediately called for the Speaker\u2019s ouster for adjourning the House unprocedurally as the order had not been dispensed.<\/p>\n

Impeachment calls<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe should impeach Lusaka for adjourning the Senate unlawfully. How do you adjourn the House without a mover, seconder and putting out the question?\u201d asked Minority Leader Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, who is a member of the ad-hoc\u00a0group formed to hammer out a deal.<\/p>\n

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, in response to Kilonzo\u2019s suggestion to impeach the Speaker, wrote on Twitter: \u201cI would wish to keep quiet but it is not easy, Lord help me maintain silence.\u201d\u00a0Kilonzo added: \u201cWe looked very foolish. Members could not even hear Poghisio, only for the Speaker to rule. What leadership is trying to do is just increasing defiance.<\/p>\n

The motion will have to be withdrawn from the floor.\u201d\u00a0Lusaka insisted that the House was charged and allowing any debate would have not ended well.\u00a0However, he said Tuesday would be the last day to agree on the way forward, and senators must be ready to \u201cbite the bullet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Speaker has convened an informal meeting on Tuesday ahead of the crucial vote and appointed a new team of negotiators led by Majority Whip Irungu Kangata, Minority Leader James Orengo and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.\u00a0The Standard\u00a0has learnt that most senators prefer a consensus that does not divide them and proposed an extra Sh16 billion to plug the gap for counties that will not gain under the proposed formula.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that the vote was postponed.<\/p>\n

The sponsors realised they could not have their way. The more they defer the vote, the more the opposition solidifies their base,\u201d warned Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki.\u00a0The recently ousted Deputy Speaker termed the formula divisive and discriminatory.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if the supporters buy time till next Tuesday, the formula will collapse. It could have collapsed today, it will on Tuesday and even if the same motion is brought in the future, it will be defeated,\u201d Kindiki said.\u00a0He argued that the matter raised is no longer about losers and gainers, but the principle that no county should lose funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now national solidarity on one hand and national chaos on the other,\u201d Kindiki stated.\u00a0Nairobi Senator Johnstone Sakaja has proposed amendments to the Finance and Budget Committee report on the proposed shareable revenue, which was in the Order Paper but was not considered.\u00a0The solution\u00a0\u201cMy proposal was the solution to the impasse.<\/p>\n

No county was going to lose. We had agreed with Kilonzo Jnr and (Narok Senator Ledama) Ole Kina. However, the Speaker decided to adjourn the special sitting without following the procedure, which denied the Majority Leader the chance to complete his presentation,\u201d said Sakaja.\u00a0He argued the gazette notice was very clear and stated the order of the day \u2013 it had nothing to do with the chair of the committee being absent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese numerous postponements portray the Senate as very indecisive. We can\u2019t continue deferring the vote; the counties will suffer,\u201d he warned.\u00a0Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, whose county stands to gain more than Sh1 billion, said in a statement that the formula backed by Uhuru is a blessing for many counties.<\/p>\n

The formula has been deferred for the last year, contrary to Articles 203, 216 and 217 of the Constitution.\u00a0\u201cWe support the formula. I affirm our position and make it clear that no amount of swinging and adjournments will change us,\u201d said Cherargei on behalf of senators who support the formula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
