Force through proposalsAdvertisementThe Nation Wednesday learnt that powerful forces in Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga’s camps are plotting to force through Ms Were’s proposals should the push for the Finance Committee’s position crumble. It is partly the reason the pro-Kenyatta lawmakers pushed hard to have Ms Were’s proposals debated on Tuesday despite the fact that they had been approved the same day. Deputy Majority Leader Fatuma Adan Dullo, who is opposed to the Finance Committee’s report and Ms Were’s amendments, on Tuesday said she read a sinister motive in the nominated senator’s proposals. The Senate, therefore, has a window to use the second revenue sharing basis to allocate money to counties for the financial year 2020/21,” the commission said in a statement on Monday. Wajir will have a Sh732 million reduction, Kwale (Sh559 million), Marsabit (Sh414 million), Narok (Sh151 million), Tharaka-Nithi (Sh143 million), Nyamira (Sh120 million), Mombasa (Sh48 million) and Tana River (Sh29 million).
