The Senate has rejected the Treasury’s proposal to allocate Sh380 billion to devolved units, insisting on maintaining the original Sh400.1 billion. This has sparked a standoff between lawmakers and the National Treasury, with senators voting against the Division of Revenue Bill, 2024. Treasury CS John Mbadi defended the Sh380 billion allocation due to revenue shortfalls but committed to timely disbursements by December. Mediation efforts are underway to resolve the impasse, as counties face funding challenges for essential services.
