Details of the county revenue sharing formula

 1. Basic Equal Share factor, B:

• All counties have certain basic fixed overheads that must be met regardless of any other paramete

 2. Population, P:

• Services are delivered to people. The greater the number of people, the higher the cost of service delivery.

 , where n_i is the population of the i^th county and N is the national population

3. Accessibility, A:

• The more scattered the people are, the greater the cost of service delivery.

• Accessibility is directly related to the mean distance between points inside the county

• This mean distance is proportional to the square root of the area of the county

, where, a_i is the area of the i^th county

4. Economic growth rate, E:

•  When services are delivered effectively and efficiently, the society thrives and becomes more productive.

• Productivity can be assessed in terms of Gross County Product (GCP)

• For historical reasons, some counties have far greater GCP than others.

• However, the rate of growth in GCP provides a good measure of the effort that the county government has put in uplifting the livelihoods of the people.

• Therefore, the GCP growth rate is a good measure for rewarding those administrations that are putting greater effort.

• NB: this is a good overall indicator of the effort counties are making in poverty alleviation, prudent effective and efficient utilisation of resources, etc.

, where r_i is the GCP growth rate of the i^th county
