Counties are missing on billions of donor funds because they lack climate change legislations. Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa said only 16 out of the 47 counties have climate change acts and are therefore able to access donor funds. The governors vowed to mainstream climate change as the main threat to survival of mankind and development of the country. Chepkwony assured that all the 47 county assemblies will pass climate change laws. Makueni county was among the first to adopt a climate change law in 2015, which enabled it access part of Sh50 million for climate change adaptation and resilience building as seed money from DFID.
