The Council of Governors (CoG) has asked Senators to reject the fourth revenue formula which was proposed by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), terming it discriminatory.

The CoG, through its Finance and Economic Planning Committee Chairperson and Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa, said that the sharing formula will see most counties losing millions, including Kakamega County at Sh393 million, if approved.
