President William Ruto has signed the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2026, into law at State House, Nairobi, paving the way for the disbursement of funds to all 47 counties.
The new law operationalises the Division of Revenue Act, 2026, providing for the distribution of 428 billion shillings to county governments to support devolved functions.
The allocation represents an increase of 13 billion shillings from the previous financial year.
President Ruto said the revenue-sharing formula will strengthen devolution by guaranteeing counties a stable baseline allocation while ensuring equitable distribution based on equal share, population, poverty levels and geographical size.
