Senators have rejected a proposal to have Nairobi County's Sh15.9 billion allocation withheld by the national government to fund transferred functions.
Although Senate passed the Division of Revenue Bill 2020 to have devolved units share Sh316.5 billion, they turned down a proposal by the National Assembly that Sh15.9 billion meant for Nairobi be retained in Consolidated Fund. Rejecting the proposal, Senator James Orengo (Siaya) said that the funds were allocated to the people of Nairobi and that the county must be responsible for the funds.
