AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> President Uhuru Kenyatta has signed into law the 2020\/2021 County Revenue Allocation Bill paving the way for the disbursement of exchequer funds to the Counties.<\/p>\n

The new law allocates a sum of Sh369.87 billion in the current fiscal year to Counties and includes Sh316.5 billion of Equitable Share and Sh13.73 billion in Government of Kenya Conditional Grants.<\/p>\n

Also included is Sh9.43 billion from the Road Maintenance\/Fuel Levy as well as Sh30.2 billion in Loans and Grants.<\/p>\n

The conditional allocation will be utilized in provision of services such as leasing of medical equipment and rehabilitation of youth polytechnics across all the\u00a047 Counties.<\/p>\n

The Bill\u00a0was presented to the Head of State for signature by Speaker of the Senate Ken Lusaka at a ceremony attended by Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi and Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yattani.<\/p>\n

Three senators from Coast have told governors to use the funds prudently after the Senate resolve the stalemate over the county revenue sharing formula.<\/p>\n

Mombasa senator Mohamed Faki, Mr Stewart Madzayo (Kilifi) and Issa Boy of Kwale told governors to use funds for what they were intended for and avoid leakages and corruption.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the senators called on the auditor general, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the director of criminal investigation to up their game in order to fix corruption in the counties.<\/p>\n

The senators also urged members of the public to act as whistle blowers and report when they found funds meant for projects in their areas have been embezzled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
