Council of Governors Seeks Ksh. 536.8B Budget Amid Revenue Allocation Dispute

The council of governors is under intense scrutiny as it pushes the national government for a budgetary increment. The cog is demanding a five hundred and thirty-six point eight billion shillings allocation for the fiscal year 2025/2026, a request that has raised eyebrows across the political and financial sectors. Despite Kenya’s projected stable economic growth of 5.3% over the medium term, COG argues that this optimism has not been reflected in the division of revenue between the national and county governments. The council claims that the growing fiscal space in the country has not trickled down to the counties in the way it should.
