Ruto Enacts Revenue Act for 2026/27 Financial Year

The legislation allocates Sh428 billion to county governments for the 2026/27 fiscal period. This funding aims to support local governance and development initiatives. The act outlines the mechanism for revenue sharing between national and county authorities. It is expected to enhance financial autonomy for regional administrations. The bill was enacted to ensure transparency and accountability in resource allocation. This move is seen as a step toward strengthening devolved governance. The implementation will be monitored to ensure compliance with the new framework.

The law ensures financial support for county governments, promoting equitable development across Kenya.
