Those with the lowest budget allocations were Lamu (Sh37.96 million), Tana River (Sh71.08 million) and Taita Taveta (Sh76.79 million). However, Nakuru, Wajir and Kiambu counties spent the highest amount of their allocations on Covid-19 activities. Nakuru spent Sh311.97 million, Wajir spent Sh255.33 million while Kiambu incurred Sh245.94 million on fighting the pandemic. “Mombasa County had not provided a report on the utilisation of Covid-19 funds by the time of finalizing this report,” the report reads in part. The report shows that counties spent the Covid-19 funds on training of health workers, renovating health facilities, procurement of personal protective equipment (PPEs) and Covid-19 sensitisation.
