South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro and other Members of Parliament have proposed a significant reduction in Nairobi County's budgetary allocation from the national government through radical reforms. Speaking during National Assembly proceedings on the Fourth Generation Revenue Sharing Formula, the lawmaker was among several other MPs who argued that the capital generates sufficient own-source revenue and does not require the same level of support as other, less financially robust counties. "Honourable speaker, it is about time that we get practical solutions on shareables.
We also need to ask county governments whether they are able to reach their targets in terms of their own source revenues," Osoro said. The MP singled out Nairobi's internal revenue collections, which he claims quadrupled those produced by several other counties combined.

Looking at Nairobi, the amount of money they collect from their own source revenues is enough to fund five counties.
