Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has opposed the proposed fourth formula for allocation of sharable revenue to counties.
Governor Barasa said the proposal by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) would disadvantage other counties which would end up losing the amounts they were receiving in the third revenue allocation formula.
He noted that with the proposal, Kakamega might lose close to Sh1.3 billion of revenue allocation if the proposal is passed.
Speaking at the Kakamega Golf Hotel during the issuance of grants to fish farmers on Tuesday, Governor Barasa asked the Commission to instead use the third revenue allocation formula which he claimed ensured counties got their better share of revenue.
