Parliament
approved KSh 4.82 trillion in total spending for Kenya's 2026/2027 financial
year, with counties receiving about KSh 503.5 billion in shares.
The chart breaks down proposed regional allocations,
listing Rift Valley at KES 25.09 billion, Nyanza at KES 2.16 billion, Nairobi
at KES 4.73 billion, and others much lower like Western at KES 304.1 million.
People expressed frustration over the gaps, with some from smaller-share regions questioning their leaders, while Rift Valley voices called for the funds to build roads, water systems, healthcare, and schools with strong oversight.
The discussion underscores worries about resource fairness, especially with Rift Valley's size and needs, as accountability remains key ahead of 2027 elections.
