President William Ruto assented to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill 2026 on June 29 in Nairobi, AllAfrica reported. The signing establishes the legal basis for distributing nationally raised revenue to Kenya's 47 counties during the 2026/2027 financial year.
The legislation specifies how those funds will support devolved functions such as healthcare, agriculture, roads, water services and early childhood education.
AllAfrica reported that the National Treasury can now begin releasing the approved allocations to county governments. County governments had pressed for timely disbursements to prevent disruptions in service delivery and development projects. The bill forms part of Kenya's devolved governance system and follows the national budget process.
