The 47 counties will get an additional Sh1.4 billion to clear pending bills and meet the Salaries and Remuneration Commission’s (SRC) circulars on salary increment and promotion of staff. This is after the Senate last week adopted the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (CARA), 2021 prepared by the National Treasury to give the county assemblies the additional monies. The 47 county assemblies will get Sh33.25 billion out of Sh370 billion allocated to all the county governments with the remaining amount going to the county executives. Nairobi will receive Sh19.24 billion, up from Sh15.91 billion; Nakuru Sh13.02 billion up from Sh10.47 billion; Turkana will get Sh12.60 billion against Sh10.53 it got in the 2020/21 financial year. Vihiga and Nyamira will receive Sh5.06 billion and Sh5.13 billion, up from Sh4.65 billion and Sh4.81 billion, respectively.
