Author: Wainaina Ndung\u2019u\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The proposed revenue sharing formula currently at the centre of the storm in Senate has failed to unite leaders from Mt Kenya region, which is set to gain more.<\/p>\n

Other than Tharaka Nithi County, which was to lose some resources in the formula proposed by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) in which counties are allocated cash based on population size, all Mt Kenya counties were set to gain more.<\/p>\n

However, what many expected to be a perfect opportunity for the region to speak in one voice in support of the new revenue sharing formula has not happened.<\/p>\n

Instead, leaders\u00a0 from the region are pulling in different directions, with the undercurrents of the rivalry between allies of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto simmering beneath the surface.<\/p>\n

Linturi\u2019s proposal rejected<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meru Senator Mithika Linturi, whose proposed formula to vary the CRA prescription was rejected by Senate leadership, appeared to accentuate these differences by blaming the president for the failure by Mt Kenya leaders to rally behind a new revenue sharing formula.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that Uhuru has failed to nurture a strong Mt Kenya successor who can be taken as the regional voice in such matters means that a proposal such as mine had to be rejected even though it would have given us added resources,\u201d said Linturi.<\/p>\n

The senator said he would have been happy to see the same intense, high level lobbying to support the CRA formula as the one witnessed when Jubilee Party decided to remove Prof Kithure Kindiki as Deputy Speaker and Kipchumba Murkomen as Majority Leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way forward is to create a middle ground that bridges the gap between the losers and winners so that nobody feels that their stake in this country is being taken for granted,\u201d said Linturi, who is perceived to be a close ally of the Deputy President.<\/p>\n

Prof Kindiki, another perceived Ruto ally in Mt Kenya region, seemed to agree with Linturi on the president\u2019s role in breaking the revenue sharing stalemate.\u00a0The Tharaka Nithi Senator called upon the president to take a \u201cnationalist\u2019\u2019 position on the stalemate such as the one he took by embracing his erstwhile political foe, ODM leader Raila Odinga.<\/p>\n

Raila has called for the postponement of the new revenue sharing formula for the next five years.\u00a0Kindiki spoke a day after Murkomen challenged the president to take a position on the matter, citing similar pronouncements by Raila and Ruto.<\/p>\n

Kindiki argued that the president was a symbol of unity and should never endorse a formula that disadvantages some parts of his country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rt Hon Odinga has done the patriotic thing. He and Ruto are now firmly providing important support in this sensitive matter,\u201d said Kindiki.<\/p>\n

Kindiki digs in<\/strong><\/p>\n

The senator stopped short of bragging that senators opposed to the new formula would win the day, instead saying that he hoped those supporting it, predominantly those from Nyanza and Mt Kenya, would eventually see the light.<\/p>\n

Senate Chief Whip Irungu Kang\u2019ata who initially threatened unspecified sanctions against Jubilee senators opposing the new formula, now seems cagey about the next strategy that Uhuru\u2019s troops from Mt Kenya region would adopt.\u00a0He has, however, promised to organise a goat-eating forum to help close ranks.<\/p>\n

Kang\u2019ata has in the last few days substantially mellowed from his earlier position that saw him accuse Raila of abandoning Uhuru on the revenue sharing formula and that this threatened the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and the handshake between the two leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe handshake has been very supportive and has not been threatened in any way. We have a lot of support from senators from the handshake strongholds,\u201d he said last week, citing solid support of ODM senators such as Ochillo Ayacko and Sam Ongeri.<\/p>\n

From the onset<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Kang\u2019ata, successfully passing the new formula was a hard task from the onset \u201cfor obvious reasons\u201d.\u00a0\u201cFormer leadership of Senate had deliberately refused to remedy the unfairness of the (old) formula.<\/p>\n

They had the opportunity during consideration of the second generation formula but failed to do so,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cAs Mt Kenya leaders we decided that this time we have to face the forces (opposed to the formula) head on and seek justice. But these forces are not asleep,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A number of Jubilee insiders say Kang\u2019ata was reined in by the president on the dangerous BBI and handshake talk.\u00a0National Assembly Deputy Chief Whip Maore Maoka, who was part of the new Jubilee Parliamentary leadership elected a few months ago, accuses Jubilee Party senators opposed to the new formula of defiance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose taking a contrary opinion from the party senate leadership are doing so out of sheer defiance. You can clearly see that there is no point for Johnson Sakaja (Nairobi) and Murkomen (Elgeyo Marakwet) to oppose the formula when their counties are set to gain,\u201d said Maoka.<\/p>\n

The only way<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Igembe North MP said Jubilee Party still believed that the way out of the crisis was for the CRA proposed formula to be passed without amendments.\u00a0\u201cPeople forget that some counties have for 10 years benefited from faked 2009 population census figures and have gotten undeserved resources based on those figures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Maore, the stalemate at the Senate had also given Mt Kenya region a clear indication of who its friends were, pointing out that while there has been numerous cases of flip flopping by Jubilee senators, the ODM camp has been more consistent on the issue.<\/p>\n

Nyeri town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu accused leaders from the region opposed to the formula of hypocrisy, saying Mt Kenya needed to be united to solve \u201ca historical injustice\u201d\u00a0 that had been perpetuated against densely populated areas for almost a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear people speaking of a win-win arrangement. This is what we are asking for because what we had was a lose-win, and our region was losing. We are now asking to get what we deserve like every other region,\u201d said Wambugu.<\/p>\n

However, former National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) commissioner,\u00a0Gitile Naituli, who now teaches leadership and management at the Multi Media University, blamed Kenya\u2019s policy makers for not crafting an incontestable revenue sharing formula.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should have the capacity to identify human needs if we expect convergence in development,\u201d said Prof Naituli.\u00a0He cited the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey 2018, which he said showed that a newly born child in Nyanza was twice as likely to die in the first months of birth as one in Central, Eastern and North Eastern regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can debate revenue sharing based on such parameters and poverty levels and are likely to find out that there are more poor people in Murang\u2019a than there are in Garissa,\u201d said Naituli.<\/p>\n

Political analyst James Mithika said the revenue sharing formula stalemate was a test for Kenya\u2019s democracy.\u00a0Mithika argued that the hard line positions on the matter in Senate demonstrated that it will be impossible to broach the subject of population and resources in a post-Uhuru political dispensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stalemate has clearly demonstrated that the problem with Kenya is that anything done wrongly is normalised in the long run,\u201d said Mithika.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
