Three governors from the lower Eastern counties of Kitui, Machakos and Makueni now want the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to factor in the region's risks while crafting the revenue-sharing formula.

The three leaders declared that the ongoing debate on revenue allocation for counties will not yield fruit unless unique challenges facing the region are taken into account.
