County governments are set to receive Sh428 billion in equitable share revenue for the 2026/2027 financial year after the National Assembly approved the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2026.

The Bill, passed without amendments, provides the legal framework for distributing nationally raised revenue to county governments and is expected to strengthen service delivery and development projects across the country.

Its passage follows the enactment of the Division of Revenue Act, 2026, which allocated Sh2.46 trillion to the national government, Sh10.2 billion to the Equalization Fund and Sh428 billion to counties.
