The second one is the schedule on the county government budget ceiling on recurrent expenditure in the financial year 2021/2022. The First Schedule provides the horizontal distribution of the equitable share among the 47 county governments using the third basis approved by Parliament in September, 2020. The basis provides that Kshs158.25 billion be shared using the allocation ratio applied in the financial year 2019/2020. The net, which is a balance of Kshs211---"
