How counties will share Sh5 billion Covid-19 funds
May 26, 2020
Nairobi, Kakamega and Bungoma are some of the counties that will get the lion’s share of the Sh5 billion Covid-19 funds from the economic stimulus package announced by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Business Kisumu, which is yet to record a case, has been allocated Sh159 million while Kisii, with one case, will get Sh156 million
All the 47 counties will get the funds through the Ministry of Health, which has been considered for additional conditional grants. This is after Parliament failed to amend the budget so that the funds can be appropriated, a matter noted by Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe in a letter dated May 14 to his National Treasury counterpart Ukur Yatani. “It is noted that the amendment (to the Supplementary Estimates No II Appropriation Bill to provide for the additional funding of Sh5 billion) was not approved by Parliament and therefore the funding has not been factored in the budget as planned,” noted the CS.
