On 25th July 2019, the public participation period for the Division of Revenue Bill closed, marking a significant step towards its approval and implementation.
The bill, which aims to govern the sharing of revenue between the National and County governments, has been at the center of a legal tussle between the National Treasury and the Governors. The two parties finally agreed on a share of 316.5 billion for counties.
According to the National Assembly, the bill will be subject to a First Reading and later proceed to the Budget and Appropriations committee for further consideration.
It is in the interest of all Kenyans that Parliament fast tracks the approval and implementation of the Division of Revenue bill, as stalemates between counties and the state government have delayed implementation and disbursements to counties.
