County governments are set to receive a record Sh428 billion from the National Treasury.[File, Standard]

County governments are set to receive a record Sh428 billion from the National Treasury after President William Ruto assented to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2026.

This will pave the way for enhanced funding under a new revenue-sharing formula aimed at strengthening devolution and improving service delivery.

The new law allocates the equitable share of nationally raised revenue to Kenya's 47 county governments, representing 20.9 per cent of the most recently audited national revenue for the 2022/23 financial year, well above the constitutional minimum of 15 per cent.
