Predictions
- Opposition leader’s rejection of revenue-sharing formula will delay release of central funds to counties but agreement will likely pass in coming months
- Reduced revenues to Northeastern, Lower Eastern and Coastal counties will force local leaders to cancel contracts and revise development plans
- Funding cuts in already impoverished Northeastern counties will likely trigger protests once formula is approved and once cuts take effect next year
Event
Raila Odinga, the leader of the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), withdrew his support for a new county revenue-sharing model on 5 August, perpetuating an ongoing impasse in the Senate (upper house).
