• The agreed funding amount is KSh 415 billion, down from the Senate's request of KSh 465 billion.
• Ali Roba, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, emphasized the importance of reaching an agreement to avoid paralyzing county operations.
• Governors complain that proposed allocations do not reflect the increasing costs of managing devolved functions, stating that KSh 526 billion was necessary.
