President William Ruto on Monday morning assented to the the County Governments Additional Allocation Bill, 2022.
The bill was first introduced for first reading in the 12th Parliament but the life of the August House elapsed before it could be passed and signed into law by the President.
The bill provides a legal framework for the release of additional funding from the national, proceeds of loans and development partners to the 47 counties in the current financial year.
Governors have been pleading with Parliament to pass the bill, release the funds. They raised concerns that several programmes and projects funded by grants were a risk of stalling.
