    REPORT OF THE TRUTH, JUSTICE AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION The Government should immediately carry out counselling services, especially to those who lost their entire families to avoid mental breakdown. It is not too late to counsel the victims because they have not undergone any counselling at all. The community also seeks an apology from the Government, the reason being that the Government was supposed to protect its citizens yet it allowed its security forces to violently attack them and, therefore, perpetrated gross violation of their rights. Anybody who has been My recommendation to this Government is that it should involved in the killing address the question of equality in this country.

  • The Evolution of Kenya's Revenue Sharing Formula, 2012-2015
    September 2015 Sharing Resources Fairly: The evolution of Kenya’s revenue sharing formula, 2012-2015 Strathmore Business School IBP Kenya1 1. The decision One of the most important policy changes ushered in by Kenya’s 2010 constitution was an overhaul of the way in which resources are shared across the country. The constitution took this power away from the executive and created new bodies, including the Commission on Revenue Allocation and the Senate, to lead a more transparent and objective process of deciding how to share resources. According to Article 216(1) of the Constitution, the Commission on Revenue Allocation is mandated to make recommendations concerning the basis for the equitable sharing of revenue raised by the National Government between the national and county governments, and among the county governments. Article 216(2) further mandates the Commission to make recommendations on other matters relating to the financing of, and financial management by, county governments and to encourage fiscal responsibility.2 In 2012, the CRA submitted its first recommendation on revenue sharing to Parliament. That recommendation, which was eventually revised and adopted by Parliament, introduced a new formula that fundamentally altered the distribution of resources in Kenya. The constitution in Article 217 (1) requires a revision to the way we share revenues across the 47 counties every five years. However, for the first formula to guide revenue sharing in 2013 (the first year of devolution), the time period was shortened to three years.3 The decision about how to share revenues across the counties begins with a recommendation by the Commission on Revenue Allocation.
