The National Treasury is set to slash the amount of cash proposed by Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) for counties for the financial year starting July 1 by Sh4 billion.

In what looks set to reignite the rivalry between the Senate and National Assembly, the Treasury is seeking to cut the equitable share for counties to Sh317.8 billion, down from Sh321.7 billion recommended by the CRA.
