President William Ruto has backed the transfer of an additional Sh65.9 billion to county governments, potentially giving counties a major financial boost as the national government moves to match devolved functions with the resources required to deliver them.

President Ruto said the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), working with the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), had completed verification of the previously identified interim allocation and developed recommendations on the funds.
