PRESS STATEMENT ON CONTROLLER OF BUDGET REPORTS

Chairman CoG2019

Members of the Press,
Citizens of Kenya,
First, I want to thank the National Treasury for continually improving on disbursement of funds, especially this Financial Year. They are almost catching up with the disbursement schedule as Cabinet Secretary Hon. John Mbadi has promised to release the outstanding November allocation this week. Shukrani!

Having said that, the Council of Governors expresses profound unease regarding the sensational reports by the Controller of Budget on Counties budget implementation for quarter one (1) of this financial year. Specifically, we wish to address two issues raised:

1. On Counties operating numerous Bank Accounts

I wish to state as follows:

All accounts opened and operated by the County governments are lawful based on the following;

• In accordance with Section 5(2) of the Facility Improvement Financing Act, 2023, all County Health facilities have been declared entities of County Governments and are required to open and operate bank accounts in commercial banks for purposes of revenue retention and expenditure. To date, County governments have 7,011 Health facilities which are commensurate with the accounts in commercial banks.
• Pursuant to Regulation 82(1)(b) of the PFM (County Governments) Regulations, 2015, County governments are required to open accounts in commercial banks for purposes of revenue collection.
