The Budget and Appropriations Committee is set to commence public hearings on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2025.
The Committee chaired by Hon. Samuel Atandi (Alego Usonga), met today to deliberate on the content of the Bill ahead of the hearings, with the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) providing further insights into the content of the Bill.
The projected total shareable revenue for the FY 2025/26 is Kshs. 2.835 trillion.
Out of this, the Bill proposes to allocate Kshs. 2.419 trillion to the National Government, Kshs. 405.1 billion to the County Governments, and Kshs. 10.6 billion to the Equalization fund.
The allocation to the National Government is equivalent to 85.3 per cent of the total shareable revenue, while the county equitable share accounts for 14.3 per cent.
The allocation of Kshs. 405.1 billion to County Governments represents an increase of Kshs. 17.7 billion (4.5 per cent growth) from the previous allocation of Kshs. 387.4 billion for FY 2024/25.
The Division of Revenue Bill 2025 was published on 12th March 2025 and read for the First Time in the House on 14th March 2025. The Bill was subsequently committed to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for consideration and to facilitate Public Participation under Standing Order 127(1) of the National Assembly Standing Orders.
