The Treasury wired Sh13.6 billion more to counties in the first five months of the current financial year, signalling efforts to speed cash transfers to the devolved units following a persistent outcry from the regional governments.

Data from the Treasury shows the counties received Sh122.1 billion in equitable share in the five months to November 2022, up from Sh108.45 billion that was wired to them in a similar period last year, representing a 12 per cent rise.
