Current Developments and Implications
This mid-year disbursement comes as counties continue to push for faster releases to address service delivery gaps.
Governors have recently demanded an additional KSh 27 billion in pending funds from the Treasury to meet obligations, including pending bills.
Looking ahead, the Cabinet has endorsed the FY 2026/27 budget framework, proposing an increase in the equitable share to KSh 420 billion (plus additional transfers bringing total county support to KSh 495.7 billion).
The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has recommended an even higher KSh 458.94 billion for counties in the next cycle.b44268d2991e
