Counties in Kenya will experience delays in the implementation of a new revenue-sharing formula due to a significant budget cut impacting the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA).

• Sh150 million budget cut jeopardizes the development of a formula for revenue-sharing from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2030.
• Mary Chebukati, chair of the CRA, highlighted the need for an additional Sh30 million to finalize stakeholder engagement.
• The proposed formula includes updates to resource distribution metrics, emphasizing population but facing pushback from leaders of less populous counties.
