The revenue allocation agency wants counties to allocate Sh5 billion more for development in the next financial year even as it seeks to retain expenditure cuts imposed on regional governments.

In the proposals made by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to the Senate, county assemblies and the executives are barred from exceeding Sh33.2 billion in recurrent expenditure.
