President William Ruto has assented to the Division of Revenue Bill, 2026, marking a key milestone in the implementation of the 2026/27 financial year budget.
The announcement was made by Molo MP Kuria Kimani, who said the Bill sets out the equitable sharing of nationally raised revenue between the national government and county governments.
Under the new framework, counties will receive KSh428 billion, up from KSh415 billion, representing an increase of KSh13 billion aimed at strengthening devolution and improving service delivery at the grassroots level.
“The Bill provides for the equitable sharing of nationally raised revenue between the National Government and County Governments. This represents an increase of Ksh13 billion, from Ksh415 billion to Ksh428 billion, in line with the Constitution, aimed at strengthening devolution and support the delivery of essential services to wananchi across the country,”he said.
Kimani noted that the allocation aligns with constitutional provisions on revenue sharing and is intended to enhance the capacity of county governments to deliver essential services to citizens.
The assent to the Bill clears the way for full implementation of the 2026/27 budget, which is expected to guide government spending across national and county levels in the coming financial year.
