This development follows the Council of Governors (COG) meeting where they threatened to shut down operations in all counties should the National Treasury fail to remit outstanding funds owed to the devolved units.
In a press statement issued on Monday, November 18, the governors lamented over the delayed release of funds by the Treasury, noting that the delays had hampered service delivery in the counties.
“The National Treasury is yet to disburse Kshs.63.6 Billion for October and November 2024 allocations. However, by December 2024, the 50% will have been exhausted which means Counties will not receive any disbursement from January 2025,” a statement by the governors read.
