Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) have gained access and control of a portion of the equitable share of revenues and county levies, following the signing of a new law that has introduced County Assembly Funds (CAFs).
The County Public Finance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2023 allows county assemblies to appropriate cash from official county accounts to be paid to CAFs and get a portion of levies and fees imposed by the devolved units, providing financial autonomy from governors.
