PRESS STATEMENT EMERGING ISSUES AFFECTING COUNTY GOVERNMENTS

Chairman CoG2019

Members of the Press,
Citizens of Kenya,

Today, we commence our address on a somber note as we pay tribute to the young man who lost his life yesterday after he succumbed to gunshot wounds following the protests witnessed across various counties. We call upon the National Police Service to exercise sobriety even as they undertake their duties. On behalf of the Council of Governors and the 47 County Governments, we send our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Rex Kanyike.

On issues affecting County Governments;

1. Resourcing of the County Governments for FY 2024/25
We have sighted a letter sent to the National Assembly on rationalization of the budget FY 2024/25. We note with concern that National Treasury intends to reduce the County Equitable Share by Kshs. 5 billion from the Kshs.400.12 billion allocated in the Division of Revenue Act (DoRA), 2024. This unilateral decision does not only undermine the spirit of devolution but also jeopardizes the essential services delivered to millions of Kenyans.
