What you need to know:

  • In his communication to the House last week, the Speaker had guided the committee to hold a consultative session with the House leadership last Thursday, a meeting that never took place.
  • The group says the formula, if adopted, should be implemented in a two-year phased period.

The Senate standoff on the county revenue-sharing formula is about to get messy.

After a weekend full of political drama, the 12-member committee formed by Speaker Kenneth Lusaka to develop consensus on the third generation formula failed to reach a consensus.
