Nairobi, Sept. 27 -- County governments left Sh100.2 billion of available funds unspent in the year to June 2026, while execution of development budgets weakened and 189 projects worth Sh10.51 billion stalled, exposing a widening gap between approved spending and delivery.

Controller of Budget (COB) Margaret Nyakang'o says counties had Sh596.78 billion available for spending during the year but used Sh496.58 billion, translating into an overall absorption rate of 83.2 percent.
