The National Assembly has passed a bill that will provide Kenyan counties with an additional Ksh67.68 billion for the 2025/26 financial year, significantly increasing their resource allocation. This funding comprises conditional allocations from both the national government and various development partners, aiming to bolster essential services and development projects across the country.

• Counties will receive an additional Ksh67.68 billion in new allocation funds.
• The County Governments Additional Allocations (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No. 8 of 2025) was passed by the National Assembly on Tuesday, September 30.
• The funds include Ksh9.98 billion from the national government's share of revenue and Ksh57.7 billion from loans and grants by development partners.
• Key sectors benefiting from the funding include healthcare (doctors' salary arrears, Community Health Promoters), housing (Housing Levy Fund allocations), industrialization (County Aggregation and Industrial Parks), and infrastructure.
• This legislation follows President William Ruto's signing of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill 2025, which committed a record Ksh415 billion to counties.
