Proposed county revenue sharing formula lopsided

Folklore has it that once, there was a rich man herding 99 camels in the fields when he came across a lonely man who was grazing only one camel. Without any hesitation or sympathy, he started strategising on how to obtain the one camel from the herdsman to add to his flock, and reach his desired target of 100 camels.

This story reminds us of the current situation in which the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) wants to snatch the meagre revenues which were hitherto in favour of marginalised counties and give to richer ones to enlarge their wealth portfolios.
