Kwale County will be receiving slightly above Kshs8 billion, Mombasa County will receive Kshs7 billion, Tana River County will receive Kshs6 billion and Tharaka- Nithi will receive Kshs4 billion respectively. As the mover indicated, this is the equitable share that does not include conditional grants that have been put as part and parcel, now within this particular framework.
