Turkana County Department of Finance and Economic Planning has engaged Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) in a consultative meeting to strategize on reducing Sh 440 million from the county's annual equitable share and conditional grant allocation of Sh15.9 billion.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Finance and Economic Planning Dr.
Michael Eregae explained that the budget reduction follows the rejection of the Finance Bill by Kenyans in June 2024.
As a result, the national government directed county governments to revise their budgets downward. "The Senate and National Assembly, through the County Allocation and Revenue Act 2024, required all devolved units to cut their budgets, necessitating Turkana County to reduce its allocation by Sh440 million," said Dr.
