Development spending in counties between July 2021 and March this year dropped to Sh44 billion from Sh48 billion recorded during the 2020/2021 financial year.

The absorption rate dipped from 25 to 23 per cent in the last financial year for many governors who will be retiring after serving two terms, or seeking re-election.
