Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, who is a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto has expressed his dissatisfaction in the third basis revenue sharing formula that was passed by the senate on Thursday September 17, 2020.
Taking to his official twitter account on Thursday evening, Nyoro claimed that the passed formula has left Mt Kenya worse off than before.
“Disappointingly, Deep state and Senate has left Mt Kenya worse off than before. The “One Man, One Shilling, One Vote” has been torn into pieces and sold to the highest bidder,” Nyoro said.
Nyoro said with the additional Sh 53 Billion and shareable revenue of Sh 370 Billion, Mt Kenya got a raw deal.
“We lost. Our 11 counties namely Tharaka Nithi, Nyeri, Embu, Murang’a, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, Nyandarua, Meru, Kiambu, Nakuru & Satellite Lamu with a combined population of 10.78M got Sh 74.9B. Meaning each resident got Sh 6,800,” he said.
“With Sh 370B to share among counties, the National Per capita allocation is Sh 7,890. At 6,800, Mt Kenya region was shortchanged.”
Nyoro claimed that as Mt Kenya they were supposed to get Sh84b if they were to use the National Per Capita allocation as the baseline.
“We therefore got less Sh 10 Billion. Even on the additional Sh 53 Billion which was ostensibly meant to right the past wrongs, we still got lower at Sh 12.1 B against Sh12.2 B that was due to us,” he said.
“Before we chest thump on “how we won”, let us all know that we actually lost. Mt Kenya region lost while we still have the “Deep State and Serikali”. You can’t argue with facts. They are stubborn.”

In the new formula, Nairobi will get additional Sh3.3 billion from the exchequer, to push its total allocation to Sh19.2 billion from the current Sh15.9 billion.
Nakuru’s allocation will balloon to Sh13 billion from the current Sh10.4 billion, Kiambu’s will be Sh11.7 billion after an additional Sh2.2 billion, while Turkana’s will be Sh12.6 billion from Sh10.5 billion.
Other big gainers are Kakamega, which will get additional Sh1.9 billion, Bungoma (Sh1.7 billion), Uasin Gishu (Sh1.7 billion), Nandi (Sh1.6 billion), Kitui (Sh1.5 billion) and Kajiado (1.5 billion).

Mt Kenya should not complain about any loose after all, since independent to date: all development have been done at Mt Kenya region and none for the other counties. Secondly, all the loots at stashed in mt Kenya and the whole world knows that. Thirdly, the revenue collected from all mt Kenya region is so small, yet the claim more on their basis of the DNA thieving.
Fourthly, Majority of the working masses in mt Kenya are native of other counties and they all demand 90% of their revenue allocation directed to their native counties, so, that their native counties develop more than mt Kenya counties and once that is achieved: All native will work on their individuate native counties and forget working in mt Kenya counties – which will automatically become ghost mt Kenya counties – where all the looter of our taxes with all the loots can’t even develop their counties with those loot but claim more for their counties a location on nothing.
Cry baby zombie: checkmate!

I am from Murang’a and i can attest to the fact that Uhuru is doing wonders in this county in terms of development. The same is happening in the whole country. Whatever Ruto gave this idiot! But Ruto will never be president.

Tribal chauvinists see everything through their narrow tribal lenses. In addition to all they have looted since indepence, favoured positions in public service, inherited farming and marketing infrastructure from the colonial administration, local market offered beyond the city of Nairobi, control and access of finance and financial institutions and all the favours that the Sessional paper no. 10 of 1965 bestowed on these regions, Mt Kenya region and their stellite Kwa Mumbi enclaves in every part of Kenya should not complain over the revenue formula adopted. The one man one shilling one vote agenda was clearly pushed by tribal greed and Kangata never failed to portray the same demanding to know who were the real enemies of Mt Kenya enclaves.

Tribalism is the worst disease in Kenya. I’m surprised at this narrow thinking. Ndindi should refer to the constitution and the revenue sharing act to know that allocation of finances rely on several parameters not population alone. If you’re to give Kiharu Village Secondary School and Murang’a High CDF cash, of course Kiharu deserves more because it lacks the infrastructure at Murang’a High. There is no way that the government can ignore the poverty index and sizes of counties. Ni urimu gwiciria ugichagi.

Why does Ndindi have so much gal against Uhuru? Kweli Ruto ni mchawi. You come to Ngurubani town and see. All roads are being tarmacked, all courtesy of Uhuru. How then can one convince us to vote for a person not known for anything good but theft?
