The Council of Governors (CoG) Executive and Liaison, Management and Business Committee has called on the National Government to reinstate Sh400.1 billion as equitable share revenue for County Governments as earlier agreed between the parties.
They argue that the revision and increase in the national budget were adopted by the Cabinet recently and this should be reflected in the sharable revenue to the counties.
Following the withdrawal of the Finance Bill (2024/25) after the Gen-Z protests in June last year affected budgetary allocations and the National Government determined to send to counties Sh387 billion from the projected allocation of Sh400.1 billion, which they want reinstated.
The plan to allocate counties Sh387 billion would see 31 counties lose over Sh12 billion, while seven counties, mostly in Northern Kenya, would gain an extra Sh7 billion.
