Nairobi Nominated Senator and 2027 Nairobi County Woman Representative hopeful, Tabitha Mutinda, has reaffirmed her commitment to equitable resource allocation and sound fiscal management following a high-level meeting between the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget and the National Treasury and Economic Planning.
The meeting focused on deliberations surrounding the Division of Revenue Bill, 2026 (National Assembly Bills No. 2 of 2026), a critical piece of legislation that determines how revenue is shared between the national and county governments.
Mutinda, who continues to position herself as a strong voice for Nairobi residents, underscored the importance of the Bill in ensuring counties receive adequate funding to effectively deliver essential services. She emphasized that fair and transparent revenue sharing is key to addressing development gaps, particularly in urban centers such as Nairobi, where demand for services continues to rise.
“The Division of Revenue Bill is central to strengthening devolution and ensuring that counties are empowered to meet the needs of wananchi. As leaders, we must ensure that the allocation process is fair, data-driven, and responsive to the realities on the ground,” Mutinda noted.
The session brought together key stakeholders from Parliament and the National Treasury, providing a platform to interrogate fiscal projections, expenditure priorities, and policy implications tied to the revenue-sharing framework.
Mutinda highlighted the critical oversight role of Parliament in safeguarding public resources, calling for enhanced accountability and prudent financial planning to maximize the impact of devolved funds.
As the 2027 political landscape begins to take shape, Mutinda’s active engagement in national economic discussions continues to solidify her profile as a capable and forward-thinking leader, keen on championing the interests of Nairobi residents through effective legislation and oversight.
The ongoing deliberations on the Division of Revenue Bill are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping Kenya’s fiscal direction, with far-reaching implications for service delivery and development across all
