#1Man1Vote1Shilling: What should determine revenue allocation – People’s Population vs Geographical Land Mass?

  • 4

Since the advent of devolution, densely populated counties have been on the losing end.

The current revenue saying formulae has left them with little or no money to make tangible development. Equality of fund distribution is currently based on geographical space instead of peoples population.

Geographical allocations don’t reflect the peoples needs as per their population which is a catalyst for marginalisation. Meanwhile, less populated counties are receiving a lions share of the revenue in addition to the equalisation fund.

Authors of devolution had one thing in mind bringing services closer to the people, This is hampered when denser populations are allocated the same money with less dense ones.

Revenue allocated to each county should reflect the needs of the population based on people and not land. It’s time people get equal representation and allocation or resources since it is the people who pay taxes.

    Ideally the aim of One man one voice one shilling is to channel resource to where people are.Since the introduction of devolution, counties with big land mass have been receiving huge funds while those with high population receiving less.

    The new mandra of revenue allocation will ensure counties with high population like Kiambu,kakamega receives more funds to enable them deliver development projects.

    This is only a political game. The opposers of #1Man1Vote1Shilling revenue allocation are only doing it for political leverage, revenge, personal vendettas all at the expense of the citizens.

    One of the goals of devolution was to reduce rural urban migration by giving rural areas priority when allocating such funds. However, these extra funds have not given birth to the expected development and corrupt leaders instead steal the money for personal use. This should be revised.
