Yatani said some counties were holding large sums at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), preventing money from flowing into the economy while pressuring the ministry to release additional funds. He said the ministry had concluded the disbursement of equitable share revenues to counties up to November and would prioritise counties that had already utilised the funds they had received when releasing the December and January allocations.
