Kenya's National Assembly is forming a mediation committee after MPs rejected a Senate-approved plan that would have forced national government to absorb all revenue shortfalls.
The National Assembly has voted for the establishment of a Mediation Committee after MPs rejected proposals approved by Senators which will require the national government to fully absorb any revenue shortfalls recorded during the period.
Kenya's revenue-sharing deadlock exposes the fundamental flaw in devolved governance across Africa: centralized power structures masquerading as federalism while counties starve for resources. Parliament's mediation committee is just another bureaucratic band-aid on a system designed to concentrate wealth in capital cities, leaving rural communities, where most Africans live, fighting for scraps. This isn't governance; it's economic colonialism with a constitutional veneer.
