County governments will receive an extra Ksh.46.3 billion to cater for their fiscal year 2023/24, sponsored by the County Government Additional Allocation Bill, 2023.
The Bill was signed into law on Monday by President William Ruto at State House.
“I’m happy that now we have resources that will support our counties to discharge their mandate,” said the president in the presence of other leaders including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
Ruto challenged MPs to deliver for their people, with his interest vested in farmers.
