A Mediation Committee has made significant progress in resolving differences between the National Assembly and the Senate over the Division of Revenue Bill, 2026, aiming to finalize allocations for County Governments.

• The key point of contention is Clause 5, designed to protect counties from budget disruptions due to revenue shortfalls, which the National Assembly has agreed in principle to reinstate.
• Discussions are ongoing regarding the fiscal figure, with the National Assembly proposing Ksh 425 billion and the Senate advocating for Ksh 440 billion.
• The committee, co-chaired by National Assembly Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairperson Samuel Atandi and Senate Finance and Budget Committee Chair Sen. Ali Roba, has adjourned to allow for further consultations, expressing confidence in reaching a consensus.
