Eleven counties have spent more than Sh100 billion each since the onset of devolution, a new statement shedding light on biggest beneficiaries of the devolved governance system shows.

The 11 counties spent Sh1.5 trillion cumulatively from July 2013 to June 2024, amid growing disbursements by the national government to counties, and increasing own revenues. This is based on an analysis of disbursements the counties received from Treasury over the 11 years and their own source revenues (OSR) for at least 10 years.
