Author:\u00a0Rawlings Otieno<\/strong>
\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The Senate leadership has formed a nine-member mediation committee to look into the stalemate of the third basis revenue sharing formula that has sharply divided lawmakers.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, in a meeting chaired by Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka, the team also planned a one-day retreat in a bid to broker a deal that will ensure no county loses funds.\u00a0The committee to be chaired by Deputy Speaker Margaret Kamar (Uasin Gishu)(pictured above)<\/strong>\u00a0will have an uphill task to convince senators to back one formula which is not antagonistic.<\/p>\n

Lusaka voluntarily stepped down for Kamar to chair the crucial committee that will bridge the wide gap between the pro-population and the pro-land mass protagonists.\u00a0This is after the Senate for the seventh time, failed to pass the formula of revenue sharing between the devolved units.<\/p>\n

Minority Whip Mutula Kilonzo Jnr (Makueni) said the ad hoc committee will have both teams of equal number to broker an agreeable process that will not split the country.\u00a0Mutula said the team will be charged with synchronising all the amendments before the House in a bid to bridge the divide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team will look at all the amendments so that we have a single agenda that is not contentious. We are still in consultation and we shall be releasing the names,\u201d he said.\u00a0Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki buttressed that his faction, \u2018Team Kenya\u2019, is consulting among its ranks to present a high-profile delegation to the mediation team.<\/p>\n

Kindiki said in picking four members from \u2018Team Kenya\u2019 dubbed as the Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja and Mutula\u2019s axis will consider the face of Kenya, inclusivity and diversity.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata (Murang’a) and the senators supporting the \u2018one man, one vote, one shilling\u2019 mantra will also second a team of four to the mediation committee.\u00a0Both teams were yet to settle on the names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
