The push to have a new revenue sharing formulae used by CRA follows concerns that those Counties with huge populations have been disenfranchised in the current set up.
Through a trending hashtag #LANDsizeVsPeople, irate netizens noted North Eastern is JUST like the third servant in the Bible who was given talent but decided to dig a hole and bury it in the ground. When the master came back to settle the account with his servants, this particular one gave back with no interest, unlike his fellow colleagues who had each multiplied their talents. The master called him lazy and demanded his talent to be taken away from him and be given to the one who had multiplied up to ten.talents.
The trend was clear that the revenue-sharing formula must be fair and must support one man, one vote, and one shilling.
Here are more sentiments;
the revenue-sharing formula must be fair, and must support one man, one vote and one shilling. This is why am seconding the new revenue sharing bill proposal by Hon Kang’ata, it’s the one to save Kenya in years to come. #LANDsizeVSpeople pic.twitter.com/ZPUoL0AHAk

Financial prudence as a principle of resource allocation under this formula is critical, as there is no need of allocating huge sums of money for Wanjiku, only for them to be embezzled.#LANDsizeVSpeople pic.twitter.com/evgGtnPCVh

A road serving 100 pple is completely irrelevant if 1M pple somewhere do not have a road.
A police station serving 50 households is irrelevant if 10k households do not have a police post.

“THE KENYAN voter is a spectacular coward, lacking the courage of conviction. He condemns and curses, brandishes fire and promises brimstone. But when called to organize at the ballot, he votes the same way: ( Kuumira Kuumira” #LANDsizeVSpeople pic.twitter.com/Nk8m7N2cHt

All eyes are on The Senate Today:
Revenue sharing formula is not about who is right or wrong. Its about accommodating everyone.
Some regions don’t have to lose for others to gain. Lets go for a Win Win
Marginalization is real.#LANDsizeVSpeople pic.twitter.com/4hrzO2U0DY— Reuben Ewoton💯🇰🇪 (@EwotonRueben) August 4, 2020

By Allocating more resources to sparsely populated areas & depriving densely populated areas like Nairobi, you’re doing an injustice. 60% of Nairobians lives in slums, Water, roads, security, drainage, schools & hospitals are needed to make their lives easier#LANDsizeVSpeople pic.twitter.com/OOz1RBNDN7
