Assented to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2026, at State House, Nairobi. The Act allocates KSh428 billion as equitable share of nationally raised revenue to the 47 county governments. This represents 20.9 per cent of the most recently audited national revenue, exceeding the 15 per cent minimum required under the Constitution. The Act distributes the equitable share among the 47 counties in accordance with the revenue-sharing formula approved under Article 217 of the Constitution. The formula provides a stable baseline allocation while ensuring a fair distribution based on equal share, population, poverty level and geographical size. The enhanced allocation will strengthen devolution by equipping county governments with the resources they need to fulfil their constitutional mandate and deliver quality services in line with their budgets and development priorities.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
