Under a new revenue-sharing formula approved in June 2025, Nairobi County will receive the largest share of Sh21.4 billion from the Sh415 billion total revenue allocated to Kenya’s 47 counties.

Nakuru follows with Sh14.4 billion, Turkana with Sh13.8 billion, and Kakamega with Sh13.6 billion.

Kiambu and Kilifi are allocated Sh13.07 billion and Sh12.8 billion, respectively. Mandera gets Sh12.2 billion, Bungoma Sh11.8 billion, Kitui Sh11.5 billion, and Wajir Sh10.5 billion.

The revised formula is expected to apply until 2029/2030.

The allocations are based on population size, land area, poverty index, and level of development.

The data reflects the government’s efforts to balance equity and efficiency in resource distribution, especially to historically marginalised counties.

Treasury expects these funds to drive socio-economic development and address county-specific challenges, including healthcare, education, infrastructure, and service delivery.
