Nairobi, Turkana, and Nakuru counties are the largest beneficiaries of Kenya's equitable revenue share, having received significant allocations totaling Sh4.04 trillion since devolution began in FY 2013/14, according to the National Treasury.

• Nairobi County has received the highest amount at Sh195.6 billion, followed by Turkana with Sh138 billion.
• The former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua accused some northern counties, including Mandera (Sh124 billion) and Wajir (Sh90 billion), of misusing funds amidst ongoing development challenges.
• The Treasury attributes disbursement delays to factors such as late enactment of legislation, budget rationalization, and constrained fiscal space.

The Kenyan government plans to construct six mega dams starting in 2026 to expand irrigation to two million acres of farmland, aiming to boost food security and mitigate climate change impacts in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs).

• The initiative, spearheaded by the State Department for Irrigation, aims to shift from rain-fed agriculture to large-scale commercial farming.
• Principal Secretary Ephantus Kimotho emphasized irrigation's role in climate resilience, stating it will be a core pillar of agricultural production.
• Key projects include Lowaat Dam in Turkana County and Radat Dam in Baringo County, among others, with the goal of reducing reliance on food imports and stimulating economic activity.

Kenya is set to issue a Sh175 billion securitised roads bond in February to clear outstanding debts to contractors and repay commercial bank loans. This move aims to alleviate the financial crunch on contractors and resume stalled road works across the country.

• The bond will be issued in tranches, with a preference for investment clubs, as the local market cannot accommodate a single issuance of Sh175 billion.
• Martin Agumbi, acting Director General of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB), stated the proceeds will fully settle loans taken to clear pending bills.
• Proceeds will repay loans from banks including Trade Development Bank, KCB Bank Kenya, UBA Bank Kenya, and Absa, which provided Sh174 billion to clear pending bills accumulated from 2005 to 2024.
• The bond is secured by the Road Maintenance Levy (RML) Fund, with Sh12 from every Sh25 collected per litre of fuel earmarked for repayment.
