On Friday, the Senate passed an additional Ksh50.5 billion to counties to cater for, among other things, the completion of the construction of county headquarters in five counties that have remained incomplete for nearly a decade.
Senators passed the allocation of Ksh532 million to Nyandarua, Tana River, Tharaka Nithi, Isiolo, and Lamu counties as supplementary funds for the construction of the headquarters.
This was after the government scrapped a Ksh444 million allocation towards counties for construction in the 2024/25 financial year.
Under the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, 2025, Senators approved the allocation of more funds to counties that have decried revenue shortages and delayed payments to some workers.
