Kenya's National and County Governments Coordinating Summit has implemented a new resolution mandating prompt salary payments for county government employees, aiming to end chronic delays. This directive requires the National Treasury to disburse personnel emoluments by the third day of every month.

• The National Treasury must now disburse funds to County Revenue Fund (CRF) accounts by the third day of each month.
• The Controller of Budget (CoB) is directed to expedite approval of releases to county governments.
• County governments are required to pay statutory deductions, including Sacco contributions, taxes, and pension remittances, by the ninth day of every month.
• The move addresses previous delays that led to staff, particularly in the critical health sector, going unpaid for up to three months.
• The annual equitable share of national revenue to county governments is set at Sh415 billion for the 2025–26 financial year.

During the 12th National Government and County Governments Coordinating Summit, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki mandated that the National Treasury disburse all county personnel salaries by the third day of every month to combat delayed payments. He also directed county governments to settle all statutory deductions by the ninth day of each month.

• Community Health Promoters (CHPs) will be covered under the Social Health Authority (SHA) insurance scheme, with costs shared equally between national and county governments at Ksh 330 per CHP per month per side.
• A framework for transitioning CHPs to permanent and pensionable terms will be developed by the Ministry of Health, the Public Service Commission, Council of Governors (COG), and National Treasury.
• All existing vendor installation contracts under the National Equipment Support Programme were cancelled, and the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGTRC) was directed to accelerate the unbundling of contested functions for transfer to counties.

The Kenyan National Treasury has withdrawn the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 from Parliament, following a directive from the National and County Governments Coordinating Summit. This bill aimed to reform rules governing county funding by splitting the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill into two separate laws.

• The decision was made at the 12th Ordinary Session of the Summit on December 10, 2025.
• The bill sought to amend sections 191A-E of the 2012 Public Finance Management Act to expedite fund release to counties.
• Earlier this year, delayed disbursements pushed 47 counties to the brink of shutting down essential services, with the Council of Governors (CoG) accusing the Treasury of failing to release Sh63.6 billion in equitable share revenue.
