Answer to revenue sharing debacle lies in economics 101

What are the chances of a poor boy in Marsabit, Garissa, Nairobi and Kiambu counties coming out of debilitating poverty? In Marsabit and Garissa, the boy will have to tackle rural poverty while in Nairobi and Kiambu, he is likely to face an even worse form of urban poverty.

The boy in Mukuru slums and his counterpart in Garissa town will face different odds in their quest for growth. The difference is huge when looked at using the capital income from these two distinct regions. All in all, they will be weighed down by these odds and may suffer irreparable damage.
